Highway 3 is blocked from Hope to Manning Park, disrupting local traffic. Wildfire activity rendered both lanes blocked, halting travel. Travellers now exclusively 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 ignited south of Boston Bar on Tuesday. This second fire spans 300 hectares. It prompted officials to close Highway 1 in the same area. Two key routes into southern BC are now blocked.
