Trailer of cranberries spilled in the EB lanes on Westminster at No.6 Rd. Have to use shoulder to get around...hopefully this doesn't cause too much of a traffic jam. 😉
It's been 24 days and 22 hours since the last over height vehicle hit a Metro Vancouver Overpass.
Previous Record - 34 Days.
Longest Record - 79 Days.

Haha! We've joked about that. "Costco Wait Times" and "You'll find it's lined up to the second corral, we're looking at about a 90 minute wait." It could replace our Border Reports, I should pitch it to our sales team. :P
