Wildfires Close Portions of Highway 1, 3
DriveBC said no detour is available as wildfires closed Highway 1 and 3, leaving Highway 5 as the only alternate route out of the Fraser Valley.
- On Wednesday, July 22, 2026, wildfires forced the closure of Highway 1 and Highway 3, leaving Highway 5 as the only available arterial route out of the Fraser Valley.
- Brunswick wildfires closed a 41.2-kilometre stretch of Highway 1 between Hells Gate and Boston Bar, while the Norwegian Creek wildfire shuttered Highway 3 between Sunshine Valley and Manning Park.
- Covering 250 hectares, the Norwegian Creek wildfire joins a smaller 12-hectare blaze; the area is south of the Ainslie Creek and Brunswick Creek wildfires.
- Drivers are advised to use Highway 5, as no other detours exist, and officials urge motorists to watch for traffic control crews and signage throughout the affected regions.
- Smoke impacting public safety led Wildfire Service to close Highway 3 near Manning Park, even as the Brunswick fire remains in close proximity to Highway 1.
