UPDATE: 2:30 p.m. Monday, January 27
The bridge spanning Okanagan Lake reopened following an investigation into a potential explosive device.
A person in crisis parked a panel van across the eastbound lanes of the William R. Bennett bridge and started a fire in the vehicle around 3:45 a.m. Monday, Jan. 27.
Kelowna RCMP arrested the suspect without incident but kept the bridge closed as there was concern of explosive materials in the van.
