The Tsiigehthic/Inuvik ice road is currently on 48-hours notice. This means the entire Dempster highway could soon close, but it’s still open.
On April 21, I drove across the road twice. There was nearly a foot of water and slush in some places, and I honestly thought the car was going to sink.
Thankfully, ice roads are well-monitored here and I saw an 18-wheeler pass after I was done.

I think I would’ve let the eighteen wheeler go first! All the ice roads down here are closed now.

I think he was waiting for me to pass, as a measure of safety, ha ha…
