Best Times to Drive  
We plan construction to avoid the busiest travel times.  When you're most likely to travel the Sea-to-Sky Highway, we're least likely to have delays or closures.  

For safety reasons, delays of 0 - 5 minutes West Vancouver <-> Whistler may occur occasionally to allow work vehicles to cross the highway or enter into traffic.
We have no scheduled construction delays or closures during the following times:
  • 6 am to 9 am Monday to Friday
  • 5 pm to 8 pm Monday to Thursday
  • noon Friday to 10 pm Sunday.

During non-closure, "off-peak" periods, remember 30-30-45.  Construction related traffic delays are coordinated so that total construction delays should not exceed:

  • 30 minutes for trips between West Vancouver and Squamish
  • 30 minutes for trips between Squamish and Whistler
  • 45 minutes for trips between West Vancouver and Whistler.
