Highway 3 is closed from Hope to Manning Park, affecting local traffic. Wildfire activity rendered both lanes blocked, suspending travel. Travellers now solely use the Coquihalla Highway, bypassing the closure. The fire near Hope is burning northeast of the Coquihalla interchange, sending thick smoke. Smoke is heavy and readily to see, harming visibility. A second blaze erupted south of Boston Bar on Tuesday. This second fire spans 300 hectares. It prompted officials to close Highway 1 in the same area. Two key routes into southern BC are now blocked.
