RBC GranFondo
Horseshoe Bay Sailings
Saturday, September 7, 2024
The RBC GranFondo Whistler cycling event from downtown Vancouver to Whistler will take place on Saturday, September 7. Traffic modifications will be in effect for customers travelling through the Horseshoe Bay terminal before 9:30 am on that day.
Customers planning to travel on sailings departing Horseshoe Bay on the morning of Saturday, September 7, please note that Horseshoe Bay traffic will be re-routed to Marine Drive through West Vancouver, from 5:30 am to 9:30 am. During this time, motorists can use the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge. One southbound lane will remain open on the Lions Gate Bridge and causeway. We suggest customers allow enough travel time to arrive at the terminal before the scheduled sailing of their choice.
For customers travelling on sailings that arrive at Horseshoe Bay terminal before 9:30 am on September 7, the eastbound lanes of the Upper Levels Highway will be closed to traffic from Horseshoe Bay to Taylor Way from 5:30 am – 9:30 am. During this time eastbound motorists will be re-directed through West Vancouver along Marine Drive.
These impacts will affect the following sailings:
- 6:30 am sailing from Departure Bay
- 6:20 am and 8:40 am sailings from Langdale
- 5:20 am, 6:20 am, 7:30 am and 8:35 am sailings from Bowen Island
Trucks disembarking from these sailings that are more than 20 meters in length and 40,000 kg GVW or over, heading eastbound, will be redirected to a temporary storage location at Horseshoe Bay from 5:30 am to 9:30 am. During this period, commercial truck traffic will be restricted from Marine Drive through West Vancouver and will be able to re-enter Highway 1 once the eastbound highway lanes are re-opened. Drivers of these commercial vehicles may wish to consider taking an alternate sailing.
BC Ferries wishes all the participants success in the RBC GranFondo Whistler event. For further information about the revised traffic patterns, visit RBCGranfondo.
