Drivers heading into and out of the Whistler Cay neighbourhood via Lorimer Road should expect delays this week, as the Resort Municipality of Whistler's (RMOW) 2025 road reconstruction work is now underway.
The RMOW is focusing on four main stretches of local roads with this year's workplan: Lorimer Road, from Balsam Way to Piccolo Road; Blackcomb Way, from Glacier Drive to the bridge; and Blackcomb Way northbound, from Sundial Crescent to the Pan Pacific, and from Chateau Blvd to the bus stop.
Alpine Paving is doing the work, with Lorimer scheduled to be completed by Friday, July 11. Crews will be working 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
"During construction, vehicular traffic may experience minor delays and congestion. Before construction starts, notices will be given to affected residents, businesses, schools, and services," reads the RMOW's project page.
"Construction activities will also result in equipment noise and an increase in the number of construction vehicles. Minor delays and single-lane alternating traffic may occur throughout the project duration. To ensure safety and smooth traffic flow, traffic control personnel will be present on-site. We kindly ask everyone to follow their instructions and adhere to all construction signs."
The RMOW's 2025 project list included a budget of $1,290,000 for road upgrades.
