Highway 3 is closed in both directions, as is Highway 1, leaving the Coquihalla Highway as the only route out of the Fraser Valley this evening.
UPDATE: 10 p.m.
Drive BC says the next Highway 3 status update will be available tomorrow at 10 a.m.
The highway was closed in both directions this evening due to a 12-acre Norway Creek wildfire located just off the highway near the Skagit River.
The BC Wildfire Service says the Manning Park wildfire is showing increased fire intensity, prompting a closure as smoke will be visible throughout the area and may impact visibility.
