A heavy downpour of rain is causing multiple transportation problems across the region.
Most notably, Translink has been forced to shut down SkyTrain service at Columbia Station due to flooding.
The station in New Westmnister connects both the Millenium Line and Expo Line, and is the only stop that connects to stations across the river in Surrey.

While authorities deal with the flooding, Translink has setup a bus bridge between New Westminster and Scott Road stations, as well as a bus bridge connecting New Westminster and Braid stations.
The delay does not affect Canada Line service.
