A traffic incident on Highway 91 in Delta, British Columbia, prompted a response from emergency services on Thursday, November 5, 2026, raising concerns about possible traffic disruptions around the Alex Fraser Bridge.
According to the latest available British Columbia highway incident information, a vehicle incident was reported on Highway 91 in Delta, with two left lanes blocked. The incident was classified as major and listed as active in the November 5 morning update.
The lane restrictions may affect motorists travelling through the area, particularly commuters relying on Highway 91 and the Alex Fraser Bridge to cross the Fraser River.
The reported incident is associated with Highway 91 in Delta, which connects several major routes in the Greater Vancouver region. The Alex Fraser Bridge forms a major part of this highway corridor, carrying traffic between North Delta and Richmond.
DriveBC’s incident feed recorded the November 5 vehicle incident at approximately 5:45 a.m. Pacific Time, with its latest listed update at 7:07 a.m. Two left lanes were reported blocked, potentially creating congestion and delays for motorists approaching the affected section.
However, the available information does not independently confirm that the collision occurred on the bridge itself or establish the number of vehicles involved.
The bridge has also been the scene of a serious multi-vehicle collision in recent weeks.
On October 9, 2026, Delta Police reported that nine vehicles were involved in a chain-reaction crash in the southbound lanes of the Alex Fraser Bridge. Two people were transported to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
According to investigators, the collision began with two vehicles before additional motorists approaching the scene were unable to stop in time. Police ruled out impaired driving but said speed might have contributed.
The southbound lanes were closed for several hours while emergency crews cleared the vehicles and debris. The bridge reopened shortly before 4 a.m.
This October collision is separate from the newly reported November 5 highway incident.
