- peak times are 30 minutes prior to ship departing and arriving ferry traffic. 2) 30 minutes prior to ship departing - highway would be completely open 3) all other times - 5 minute lockup’s in our immediate filming area only.
During our filming we will have a traffic control company assisting with our traffic diversion.
