00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.540
Vancouver rundown for Monday, January 26, 2026.

00:00:05.339 --> 00:00:09.119
Slow, expensive, and not sustainable. Those are

00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:11.460
some of the words being used to describe the

00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:14.300
workarounds with the ongoing closure of the only

00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:16.579
bridge linking West Ham Island to the rest of

00:00:16.579 --> 00:00:20.140
Delta and the Lower Mainland. TransLink, which

00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:22.780
owns the bridge, says damage from a barge strike

00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:26.600
last week is worse than originally thought. There

00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:29.199
is still no word on when the bridge will reopen.

00:00:29.899 --> 00:00:32.280
Meantime, farmers continue to scramble to get

00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.299
produce to market. The city of Delta has arranged

00:00:35.299 --> 00:00:38.679
barge service to get some vehicles and farm equipment

00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:42.320
across the water. Delta is also applying to have

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.200
the province declare the situation a local state

00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.399
of emergency. Other news. So far, police are

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.780
not commenting on another overnight attack on

00:00:53.780 --> 00:00:56.500
a Surrey business and whether it is linked to

00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:59.759
the surge in extortion -related violence. The

00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.039
business at 80th Avenue and Scott Road has been

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.480
damaged in an early Sunday morning arson. No

00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.159
suspects have been identified. A teen has suffered

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.420
serious injuries in what's believed to be a targeted

00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:16.939
attack at Willowbrook Shopping Center in Langley.

00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.000
RCMP say they were called to an apparent robbery

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.439
late Saturday afternoon. A victim was found with

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.040
serious injuries and rushed to hospital. Some

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.739
shoppers say it smelled like bear spray was used

00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:33.159
in the incident. A section of the Stanley Park

00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.599
seawall will be closed for the week. The stretch

00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.000
between Ferguson Point and Prospect Point is

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.000
expected to be cordoned off until Friday as crews

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.140
repair damage caused by storms last month. Detours

00:01:48.140 --> 00:01:52.010
are in effect. The forecast. Mainly cloudy for

00:01:52.010 --> 00:01:55.390
Monday, windy at times. A mix of sun and cloud

00:01:55.390 --> 00:01:58.930
for Tuesday, rain for Wednesday. For all the

00:01:58.930 --> 00:02:01.709
