A crane fire has closed down the southbound lanes of Highway 91 in Delta.

A part of a Delta highway was shut down after a crane caught fire Thursday morning.

The southbound lanes of Highway 91 was closed near 72 Avenue when the fire broke out just after 10 a.m.

Crews continue to secure the crane boom, which appeared to be extended at the time of the fire.

The fire also closed the Nordel Way on-ramp onto the highway.

It's unknown when southbound traffic will begin moving again.
