The GNWT has informed the public to watch for depressions in the ice on Marian Lake at Kilometre 23 and Kilometre 25 in the Southbound Lane. It says heavy equipment is working between Kilometre 43 and Kilometre 54 in the Rat Lake Area and that drivers need to keep an extra eye in that area. The GNWT also warns of soft spots along edges on portages and reminds the public that the speed limit throughuot the winter road is 50 km/h.
