Customers looking to travel to or from Tsawwassen terminal along that portion of Highway 99 during the noted times will be impacted and should plan accordingly. An overnight detour will be in effect using on and off ramps, however, travellers should be prepared for delays as a result.
Reduced lanes will be in effect Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm, with two lanes open in both directions during this time.
Those using transit to Tsawwassen are advised to take earlier bus departures due to the project work. Transit schedules can be found here.
