Highway 3 is closed from Hope to Manning Park, disrupting local traffic. Wildfire activity made both lanes unusable, suspending travel. Travellers now solely use the Coquihalla Highway, skipping the closure. The fire near Hope flames northeast of the Coquihalla interchange, releasing thick smoke. Smoke is dense and readily to see, harming visibility. A second blaze erupted south of Boston Bar on Tuesday. This second fire covers 300 hectares. It compelled officials to close Highway 1 in the same area. Two key routes into southern BC are now blocked.
