Images from CCTV cameras at the intersection of Gaglardi Way and University Drive showed police blocking the road and diverting traffic.
The road reopened before 2 p.m.
The university says there is “no danger to the campus community.”
For the time, SFU was asking people to avoid the area and follow the directions of emergency responders.
Bus service up the mountain was suspended, according to TransLink.
