Drive NWT, the territory’s road conditions website, did not report any closures as of 4am but a webcam at Fort Providence appeared to show traffic heading north lined up behind a barricade.
By 9:30am, Highway 3 was showing as closed north of Fort Providence. Check Drive NWT for the latest conditions.
The website warned of expected delays because of fog on the Highway 1 ferry between Fort Simpson and Wrigley, while the Liard River ferry was listed as offering “intermittent service.”
