Crews continue to work to safely open the Fort Chipewyan Winter Road as soon as possible. Good progress is being made now, but early warm weather and low snowfall delayed construction timelines. It is still a little too early to say when the Fort Chipewyan Winter Road will open, but crews are working hard and continue to make good progress. The Municipality will provide another update on road construction status on Friday morning.
Crews are working at both the north and south ends of the winter road to build the road surface, including clearing, grading and watering.
To help community members get personal goods and supplies for the holidays, free shipping to Fort Chipewyan is available at McMurray Aviation starting Dec. 15. This will continue until the road opens to light vehicles (5,000 kg) or until further updates.
Only a one-time personal shipment up to 250 lbs. is available to community members at no cost. Each person’s shipment must be made in full at one time; multiple shipments per person will not be accepted due to available space and resources. Regular rates for commercial or industrial shipping still apply.
To make arrangements, please contact McMurray Aviation at 780-791-2182 or visit their location at 531 Snow Eagle Dr., Fort McMurray.
According to the RMWB, Construction on the La Loche Winter Trail is also progressing well.
