Vancouver Road Closures: Plan Ahead for Highway One

0:00It's April 2nd. This is Canada News today, your AI-powered local news. If you're hitting the road to or from Vancouver this weekend, heads up on some major closures around East First Avenue near Highway 1. City crews are doing road work, shutting down parts of the route from 5 a.m., Sunday, April 5th, through 9 p.m., Monday, April 6th. That's basically two full days of disruptions, unless you're out super early Sunday or super lay Monday. The main hits are East First Avenue close both ways between Boundary Road and Rupert Street, plus most ramps too and from Highway 1. Only the Eastbound off-ramp stays open, so traffic coming off the Highway Eastward can still roll through. Boundary Road takes a hit too, close southbound from Gravely Street to East Second Avenue. But that one key ramp from North Vancouver toward downtown stays live, linking straight to Rupert Street without touching East First. This will be out there directing traffic to keep things moving as best they can, and sidewalks

1:00stay open for pedestrians getting around on foot. No issues there. Plan your trips ahead folks. Grab those alternate routes and brace for delays if East First is your usual Highway 1 hookup. Stay smooth out there.
