Apna News Brief

WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. - Highway 99 will close in both directions near Horseshoe Bay on Tuesday, November 17, and Wednesday, November 18, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, while crews remove hazardous trees above the highway.

The closure runs from Exit 2 and Eagleridge Drive for northbound traffic to Horseshoe Bay Drive for southbound traffic. The trees were damaged during a wildfire in 2023 and have not recovered. Because of the steep terrain and the location of the trees above the highway, the highway must close for public safety during work hours. It will reopen outside of work hours.

Drivers should obey detour signage, routing along Horseshoe Bay Drive. The closure affects the Sea to Sky route used by many Lower Mainland drivers heading to Squamish and Whistler, so travellers should plan around the 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. work window on both days.
