Travel Advisories
A number of highways in the NWT are being affected by reduced visibility, and the status of the highways may be affected by firefighting operations with little or no notice. Travellers should check the road bulletins and this website before travelling to ensure they have the most current information on road conditions.
Travellers on Highway 5 are advised to watch for areas of limited visibility from nearby forest fires.
 |
Delays of one hour or more can be expected in the Mosquito Creek Hill area (km. 227 to 229) of Highway 3 (the Yellowknife Highway), approximately 10 km. south of Edzo, to permit firefighting operations and backburning in the area. These delays may be experienced intermittently over the next three days. Travellers are advised to use extra caution as visibility may be reduced at times. Watch for highway crews and fire crews along the highway and right of way. |
The Liard Trail (Highway 7) from Checkpoint (the junction with Highway 1) to Fort Liard is open to all traffic. Speed limit is reduced in some sections. To ensure safety, please obey all signs and watch for highway crews.

Did you know?
There is a hoax e-mail making the rounds, promising recipients that if they go to a particular website, they can search for the Drivers Licence of anyone in the U.S. or Canada. This is, of course, not possible - no jurisdiction anywhere in North America, including the NWT, makes their Drivers Licence information available to the public. For those who have received such an e-mail, there is a good summary of the hoax here.
