Taylor SwiftB次元官网网址檚 Eras Tour is changing many things in Vancouver, from the tune of GastownB次元官网网址檚 iconic clock to traffic patterns as thousands of fans pour into the city ahead of FridayB次元官网网址檚 first show.

The City of Vancouver is warning of much slower traffic this weekend in the downtown core, not only because of SwiftB次元官网网址檚 three concerts, but because of other events and festivities.

There will be full closures of several major arteries around the BC Place concert venue between noon and midnight on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, including West Georgia and Robson streets, Pacific Boulevard and the Cambie Bridge off-ramps near the site.

The city says in a statement that people need to plan for delays and should walk, bike, ride or take transit to and from the downtown.

The steam clock in Gastown is also being brought in on the Swift action, and has been retuned for the first time to play her hit B次元官网网址淪hake it OffB次元官网网址� every 15 minutes, with a longer sequence on the hour, starting today through to Dec. 13, which is SwiftB次元官网网址檚 35th birthday.

The idea started as an April FoolsB次元官网网址� Day joke earlier this year, but Walley Wargolet, with the Gastown Businesses Improvement Society, says they decided it would be a joyful way to be part of the Taylor Swift takeover of the city.
