Traffic is flowing freely, if slowly, on Vancouver's Lions Gate Bridge after two vehicle incidents in two hours on Friday afternoon.

Traffic through Stanley Park first came to a complete halt after a crash closed all lanes just before 4 p.m. PT.

Tow trucks and emergency vehicles were seen attending the scene at around 4 p.m. PT. The bridge was fully closed for about an hour. TransLink said buses were temporarily rerouted via Pipeline Road.

The bridge was briefly reopened, but a second vehicle incident on the Lions Gate Bridge reduced traffic to one lane in each direction at around 5:30 p.m.
