If you usually take the Port Mann Bridge to work, you know it was a major traffic headache Tuesday morning.

Up to 19 vehicles were involved in multiple crashes just before the bridge in the westbound lanes, causing massive delays out of Surrey for commuters.

The accidents were in both the Lougheed Highway exit lanes and the regular lanes with only one lane getting through in each section.

An 11-car pileup backed up the regular thru-lanes and HOV lanes.

WATCH: Aerial shots of the accident from the Global 1 helicopter:
