An exit on the TransCanada Highway in East Vancouver will be closed for multiple days, officials announced Monday.

The northbound off-ramp along Highway 1 westbound at East 1st Avenue will remain closed until Friday while crews complete sewer repairs, a bulletin from the Transportation Ministry said. There will be also no left turns allowed onto the northbound onramp.

“Additional work is anticipated. Updates on any closures affecting the highway will be provided,” the advisory said, adding that drivers can detour using East Hastings or McGill streets and should plan for additional travel time.
