An ongoing blast of winter weather continues to impact B.C. residents, and now comes important new news for drivers: some of the bridges in the Lower Mainland are closing on Friday due to winter conditions.

At 10:15 a.m., the Port Mann Bridge closed in both directions.

At 10:26 a.m., the Alex Fraser Bridge closed in both directions.

These closures come as snow, ice pellets and freezing rain is hitting the region hard.

Freezing rain has caused ice to accumulate on the bridge cables, which cross all traffic lanes.
