HOPE — A vehicle fire on Highway 5 has impacted traffic flow east of Hope, but west of the Highway 3 junction.
According to a post from Drive BC at 7:04 p.m. Tuesday night, motorists traveling through the area should expect delays.
Drive BC issued an update at 8:31 p.m. Tuesday night, saying Hwy. 5 southbound at the Hwy. 3 split is now open, but the right lane is closed due to a vehicle fire.
