Highway 3 is shut from Hope to Manning Park, affecting local traffic. Wildfire activity rendered both lanes impassable, stopping travel. Travellers now exclusively use the Coquihalla Highway, skipping the closure. The fire near Hope is burning northeast of the Coquihalla interchange, producing thick smoke. Smoke is dense and easy to see, lowering visibility. A second blaze erupted south of Boston Bar on Tuesday. This second fire affects 300 hectares. It prompted officials to close Highway 1 in the same area. Two key routes into southern BC are now closed.
