The current report
The station did not mention the Lougheed in this cycle. On Vancouver604 that is a statement, not an absence: a highway that is moving is not read out, so a quiet page usually means a clear road.
The player carries the whole station, every zone, in the order it airs.
This report is one segment of the Vancouver604 broadcast. The full cycle carries traffic for every zone, the border, news, sports and scores. It refreshes every 15 minutes. Listen now.
About this highway
Highway 7, the Lougheed, runs from Burnaby through Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, over the Pitt River Bridge and along the north side of the Fraser through Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge to Mission. Everyone calls it the Lougheed; the signs say Highway 7. It is a highway in name and an arterial in practice for most of its length, with signals through every town centre, and that is what makes it slow rather than any single bottleneck. It is also the only through road on the north side of the river, so when Highway 1 is closed east of the Port Mann this is where that traffic goes. Mornings run west toward Coquitlam and Burnaby, afternoons east toward Maple Ridge. The alternates are the Mary Hill Bypass at the western end and the Golden Ears Bridge for anything crossing south.
Questions
- How current is the Lougheed report?
- Vancouver604 publishes a new cycle every fifteen minutes. The time at the top of the page is when the cycle you are reading was published, and the page, the JSON feed and the player all show the same cycle.
- What does it mean when the Lougheed is not in the report?
- That the station had nothing to say about it. Vancouver604 reports what drivers and the public road feeds are seeing; a highway that is moving is not mentioned, so a quiet page usually means a clear road.
- Which zones cover the Lougheed?
- Tri-Cities, Maple Ridge / Pitt Meadows, Burnaby / New Westminster and Fraser Valley East. The crossing's report is drawn from every zone in the cycle, so it is found whichever side the station described it from.
- Can I listen instead of reading?
- Yes. Press play on this page or in the free iOS app, which also works in CarPlay so your hands stay on the wheel.
- Is Vancouver604 an emergency service?
- No. Vancouver604 is a community information service. In an emergency call 911. Never use your phone while driving.
