Date
|
As per Tourism Whistler: The RBC GranFondo Whistler takes place on Saturday, September 12, with more than 5,500 cyclists expected to ride from Vancouver to Whistler, where visitors will find a range of spectator experiences.
Motorists should expect significant delays and changing traffic patterns along the Sea to Sky Highway from approximately 5:30 AM to 4 PM. Highway 99 will remain open to northbound and southbound traffic throughout the day, with reduced speeds, lane closures and temporary traffic stoppages in some areas. Motorists should plan ahead and allow extra travel time, with delays of up to three hours possible.
New this year, Forte and Medio riders will travel through the Callaghan Valley instead of Cypress Mountain due to construction on Cypress Bowl Road. Callaghan Valley Road will be fully closed to vehicle traffic in both directions from 8 AM to 3 PM.
Within Whistler, expect significant delays between Function Junction and Whistler Village. Village Gate Boulevard will be closed to traffic entering or exiting Highway 99, with Lorimer Road and Whistler Way available as alternate routes. Alta Lake Road will also be available as an alternate route to Highway 99.
Full details regarding the anticipated traffic impacts during the event are available on the Traffic Advisories page of the RBC GranFondo Whistler website.
