Drivers can expect heavy traffic and some delays along Highway 99 from Aug. 7-11, as concert goers make their way to the Squamish Music Festival which runs Aug. 8-10.

Drivers should allow extra time when travelling the Sea-to-Sky Highway between Horseshoe Bay, Squamish and Whistler.

There will be no highway lane closures during this period, but a significant increase in traffic volume is expected in the Howe Sound corridor for the Squamish Music Festival.
