It’s going to get crowded this weekend, yet again. Traffic delays on the NorthVancouver and WestVancouver side could be long due to paving work taking place on the Lions Gate Bridge. Getting back and forth from downtown Vancouver could be tricky.
Weather permitting, the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has scheduled repaving of the north viaduct portion of the Lions Gate Bridge, Friday and Saturday evening.
