The Fraser Highway through Langley was closed between 248 and 260 Streets because of downed power lines all day Saturday.
Traffic was still not moving by early evening, despite reports that the route was to re-open by 6 p.m.
It was one of several cases of power lines coming down during an overnight storm that cut electricity to tens of thousands of BC Hydro customers, with most of the outages reported in Langley, Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack.
