VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — Some major roadwork in East Vancouver had drivers honking in frustration on Tuesday.

Water main work has East 12th Avenue shut down between Kingsway and Fraser Street. The closure of the four-block stretch created somewhat of a traffic nightmare for commuters taking the route.

A main issue has been that drivers can’t see the closure until they’re already at the top of a hill.

The closure will be in effect for another two months.

You can use Broadway or Hastings as alternate routes.
