Ice roads open for the season
Winter access between Tsiigehtchic, Fort McPherson and Inuvik has opened up, with the NWT announcing that both the Peel and Mackenzie River ice crossings are open as of Nov. 30.
Vehicles are limited to a maximum of 5,000 kilograms on the crossings, including the temporary winter access road to Tsiigehtchic.
Drivers are advised to check road conditions before heading out, in the event the pass between Fort McPherson and Eagle Plains closes due to weather.
