Highway 99 Improvement Project
The Highway from Horseshoe Bay to Whistler, more commonly referred to as the “Sea to Sky Highway”, is undergoing a $600 million upgrade to increase the road's safety, reliability and capacity. The project is already more than halfway done and scheduled for completion in 2009 - just in time for the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Project benefits include:
- A straighter highway and improved sightlines, creating more consistent driving speeds and shorter travel times
- 80 kilometres of new passing lanes between Horseshoe Bay and Whistler
- Shoulder and centreline rumble strips and additional median barriers
- Wider shoulders for improved safety and accommodation for cyclists and disabled vehicles
- Enhanced monitoring of road conditions by electronic weather stations to improve highway maintenance response during winter weather
As there is ongoing road work associated with the project, please allow yourself 30 - 45 minutes of extra time when traveling Highway 99.
