Canada Highway 1 in B.C.

Tractor trailers use the highways.

All the tunnels are 2 lane roadway and there is no tolls. Thousands of RV's commercial transport and autos go through the tunnels every day so you will not have any problem.

They are single lane in each direction but as you see plenty big enough to accommodate your rig. That is an extremely busy highway.

You are asking about the tunnels through the Fraser Canyon right? No problem taking them at all! The only thing you have to do is honk your horn when you are in them!! :)

Except for two bridges in the Fraser Valley, there are no tolls on BC roads.

Thanks everybody for the feedback. Great picture BC Explorer.

No worries on height or width with our pusher 102 inches plus mirrors pulling a trailer at highway speeds.

Question about the tunnels on Canada hwy 1 north of Hope, British Columbia. The map shows a series of tunnels. Are these tunnels multiple lanes in each direction? Are the lanes wide enough for 102-inch wide RVs plus additional inches for the mirrors? Are their tolls to travel through them? Thanks in advance for responding

Here's a video that I created that shows going up Fraser Valley and a couple of those tunnels.We were there in the summer of 2015. The video starts at the Sumas border.

there are 7 tunnels. All are two lanes, wide enough for tractor trailers so you will be fine. There are some interesting places to stop at in the Fraser Canyon as well. Hell's Gate is a good stop if looking for a little break. During the summer it gets really hot and windy thru the Canyon so make sure your rig's cooling system is in good shape if you are traveling thru then.

I was thinking about this posting and knew that there was something in the back of my mind..it finally jarred loose. Note that tunnels are arched. A person that is not 100% focused on the task at hand will shy away from that right entry. The tunnels are all singe lane each way, and they are not w-i-d-e lanes, either. A driver will easily find themselves over the double yellow, with oncoming traffic and perhaps a transport or another RV'r in the same mind-set, coming at you. Chances are you will shy away as you enter the tunnel...get back over ASAP.
