The current report
The station did not mention the Sea-to-Sky 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 99 from Horseshoe Bay north through Lions Bay, Squamish and Whistler to Pemberton, rebuilt for the 2010 Games and still two lanes for long stretches with a rock face on one side and Howe Sound on the other. Everyone says the Sea-to-Sky; the signs say Highway 99. It has no alternate at all, which is the single fact that governs it: a crash at Lions Bay or an avalanche control closure above Porteau Cove stops the entire corridor and the queue has nowhere to go. Weekends invert the commute, northbound on Friday and Saturday morning and southbound on Sunday afternoon, and winter closures for avalanche control are scheduled rather than sudden and are worth planning around.
Questions
- How current is the Sea-to-Sky 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 Sea-to-Sky 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 Sea-to-Sky?
- Sea-to-Sky and North Shore. 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.
