A mass of cyclists will converge on West Vancouver and the Sea to Sky corridor for the annual GranFondo Whistler event on Saturday, resulting in numerous road closures.
Starting at 5:30 a.m. Lions Gate Bridge will be closed to vehicles except for one southbound lane, until 8 a.m. — with westbound Marine Drive lanes from Capilano Road to Taylor Way closed until 8:30 a.m. Access to Taylor Way between Marine Drive and Highway 1 will be closed to traffic and pedestrians during the same time.
Two eastbound lanes of Highway 1 will be closed between Taylor Way and Horseshoe Bay from 5:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., with motorists being advised to use Marine Drive as an alternate route.
Drivers headed to Squamish and Whistler during the event will encounter a number of detours and single-lane alternating traffic and should expect delays. From 6:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Cypress Bowl Road will have reduced speeds.
