FRASER VALLEY — After heavy rains pounded the Fraser Valley overnight, DriveBC says one of the eastbound on-ramps onto Highway 1 in the Fraser Valley is flooded.

According to a Tuesday morning post from DriveBC on X/Twitter at 9:55 a.m., the eastbound on-ramp from 264 Street onto Highway 1 in Langley is closed due to flooding.

Crews are on scene, and motorists are advised to use an alternate on-ramp.

A picture from DriveBC shows at least 25 meters of curved on-ramp roadway covered in water. It appears two to three utility crew vehicles are on scene.

The overnight storm along British Columbia’s south coast not only brought rain but knocked out power for thousands. More than 20,000 had power knocked out during the storm across the island and the Lower Mainland although it had been restored to most by 9 a.m.

Environment Canada says peak winds were felt along the coast, with Discovery Island off Victoria seeing the highest gusts of up to 96 km/h.

Other locations, including Victoria and Tsawwassen, also reported high winds, but all Environment Canada wind warnings were lifted by Tuesday morning.

The adverse weather also forced BC Ferries to cancel several sailings on Monday, though service has since been restored.
