A severe winter storm that is on it’s way will be affecting the Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road.
The Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road Joint Venture will be suspending all Winter Road traffic by late Saturday night and withdrawing all its crews back to the camps for their safety.
A large weather front with heavy snowfall and very high winds is expected to hit the Winter Road starting on Saturday evening (March 13th) through to Tuesday morning (March 16th).
The Joint Venture says the re-opening of the Winter Road will be substantially delayed due to the expected snowfall and subsequent blocking of the road.
“All Winter Road travelers should cancel their travel plans or leave the Winter Road if they are already on it,” the Joint Venture adds.
The Joint Venture says those remaining on the Winter Road during the storm will be subject to dangerous weather conditions.
