If there is a crash, the next question is how bad it is. If it is bad, then how long the closure will be is the next concern.
According to BC , upwards of about 19,000 people are driving on the highway per day (based on a count at Highway 99, at south end of Cheekye River Bridge).
In 2023, RCMP note 12 people died on our stretch of the highway.
Already, this year has seen a slew of crashes, including a multi-vehicle crash near Whistler that landed 10 people in hospital last Wednesday.
