Highway 3 is blocked from Hope to Manning Park, impacting local traffic. Wildfire activity rendered both lanes unusable, halting travel. Travellers now exclusively use the Coquihalla Highway, avoiding the closure. The fire near Hope burns northeast of the Coquihalla interchange, producing thick smoke. Smoke is dense and easy to see, harming visibility. A second blaze ignited 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.
