A dump truck caught fire mid-span eastbound on the Port Mann Bridge just before 8 a.m. Wednesday, creating traffic delays.
Const. Mike Moore of the BC Highway Patrol said no one was injured in what鈥檚 believed to have been a mechanical fire confined to the truck鈥檚 cab.
鈥淚t鈥檚 down to the HOV lane and the turn lanes, and the right lane of the 152 lanes are open. Two lanes open in total right now, eastbound,鈥� Moore said at 9 a.m.
鈥淲e appreciate motorists鈥� patience and understanding as we gather evidence and clear the scene, get those lanes open. Traffic鈥檚 moving albeit slowly, rush hour combined with reduced lanes, so it鈥檚 going to be a bit of a crawl I think for the motorists. The main thing is everybody鈥檚 OK. Mechanical issue, it happens.鈥�
