It was another long night for drivers stranded on the Coquihalla Highway.
Crews have been working around the clock to clear the road and relieve congestion on the highway.
Southbound lanes were opened around 4:30 a.m. Saturday. One northbound lane was opened later in the morning but there are still major traffic delays.
Friday’s closure comes after hundreds were stranded and forced to sleep in their cars due to a road closure Thursday.

WATCH: Coquihalla reopens
The highway was re-opened Friday afternoon but closed again around 9:30 p.m. as several spun-out trucks and heavy congestion brought traffic to a standstill.
That closure left motorists trapped in their vehicles for the entire frigid night.
