Multiple crashes on new Port Mann bridge

One month after it officially opened to traffic, the new Port Mann Bridge has had another commute snarled by ice.

A few weeks ago, it was ice falling from bridge cables and crashing down on vehicles.

This morning, the combination of ice on the bridge deck and thick fog led to multiple crashes.

RCMP SGT. Peter Thiessen; 

“Approximately 20-25 vehicles that had been involved in one type of crash or another… some of that has resulted in some minor injury.”

We have calls out to the Transportation Investment Corporation, the crown corporation responsible for the bridge.

Obviously the big question is: was the bridge deck salted overnight?

The last of the wrecked vehicles were removed from the bridge just after nine am.
