BC Highway & Road Conditions Update - January 19, 2022

Blackshark Exotic Car Escorts navigating winter highways through the BC mountains

I am so happy to say highway number 5 from Merrit to Hope is OPEN to all travellers starting today. 

The announcement was made earlier this week that Highway 5, the Coquihalla highway, would be opening to ALL traffic starting today, January 19, 2022. The BC highways have been plagued by one disaster after another in recent months and it comes as a wonderful surprise that the Coquihalla highway has opened much earlier than originally anticipated. 

Although we can expect there to be challenges navigating this quickly reconstructed highway, being able to utilize it will continue to help us deliver your exotic cars in a timely fashion, and optimize logistics for our team. The Coquihalla, formerly a fast moving four lane highway is now operating at a fraction of its old capacity as a two lane passageway through the British Columbia mountains. However meager it’s opening may be, we are so thankful to be able to use this major route once again to deliver the exotic cars you’ve been dreaming of.

Other than normal winter driving conditions the BC and Alberta highways have stabilized. Keep your eyes open for our upcoming introduction to our A+ team of Exotic Car Escorts and their winter driving CVs. These guys are pros at navigating winter highways in BC Alberta and the Northern USA  and we’re so thankful that they are part of Team Blackshark taking care of your precious cargo!
