Anyone know how far the traffic is backed up before the Alex Fraser Bridge on Nordel way?
I have a flight at 9am on Wednesday and was wondering what time I should leave to ensure I get there in time. I'm coming from Fleetwood.

I'd say leave by 6. Its better to be early and sit at the airport then to miss your flight.

TransLink just announced the Pattullo Bridge will re-open tomorrow morning at 6am, ahead of the two weeks originally scheduled. The bridge has been closed since last weekend when a major fire destroyed a wooden support structure at the south side of the crossing. |

The Pattullo Bridge, damaged by a fire last Sunday, is set to reopen Monday morning at 6 a.m. PT.
That's at least one week earlier than estimated.
The bridge was closed early last Sunday morning after a fire damaged a wooden trestle that supports the 72-year-old span's south end.
The bridge, which connects Surrey and New Westminster, B.C., across the Fraser River, moves more than 80,000 vehicles every day in Metro Vancouver.
The closure created havoc for rush-hour commuters in Surrey, Delta and New Westminster, as many were forced to take alternate routes.

As much as people bitch about Translink, gotta give'em major props for this!

Apparently a lot of people didn't get the memo because the bridge is nice and dead right now no pun intended.
