-------------- The Deh Cho Bridge is a 1.1 km (0.68 mi) long bridge across a 1.6 km (0.99 mi) span of the Mackenzie River on Highway 3 near Fort Providence, Northwest Territories, Canada. Construction began in 2008 and was expected to be completed in 2010 but faced delays due to technical and financial difficulties. The bridge officially opened to traffic on November 30, 2012.[2] The bridge replaced the prior ferry/ice bridge combination used for river crossing, replacing MV Merv Hardie, the ferry in operation at the time of opening.
Deh Cho is the Dene name for the Mackenzie River.
NWT Highway 3 (or the Yellowknife Highway) must cross over a kilometre of open water on the Mackenzie River south of Fort Providence. Since the highway opened in 1960 through November 2012, a seasonal ferry service was provided (roughly mid-May until December or January), with an ice road maintained across the frozen river from December to April. During the spring breakup season, due to hazards from floating or jammed ice there was a 3-4 week period (from mid-April to mid-May) between the closing of the ice road and the start of ferry service. No vehicles could cross during this period, and supplies for Yellowknife and other highway communities north of the river had to be relayed across by helicopter, sent by air freight, or wait until ferry operations begin. A similar but shorter freezeup period used to occur in December/January between the end of ferry operations and the opening of the ice road, but since the early 1980s ferry operations had generally been able to extend until the ice road was open.[citation needed]
The closing of the crossing created added transportation inconveniences and costs for residents north of the river, especially for perishable items such as food. A bridge had been of interest since the highway was opened, but various proposals for a bridge had difficulty establishing financial feasibility given the limited traffic volumes and the estimated construction and maintenance costs involved.
Best Things To Do In The Northwest Territories - Canada Road Trip Travel Documentary
In this video, we share some of the best things to do in the Northwest Territories, including Yellowknife, Inuvik, and Tuktoyaktuk!
Welcome to the NWT!
With more than one million square kilometres of land area and a population of less than 50,000, the Northwest Territories is about as wild as it gets. It's certainly not an easy area to visit (many places are fly-in, many roads are gravel, and distances are vast) but for those who make the effort, there are incredible things to experience.
With boreal forest, arctic tundra, some of Canada's greatest waterfalls, a vibrant indigenous culture, and boundless wilderness, this is an adventurers paradise!
We explored the NWT from August 16 - September 1st, 2017!

Sambaa Deh Falls in Canada's Northwest Territories
Sambaa Deh Falls are located on the Trout River in Northwest Territories. The MacKenzie Highway crosses the river right at the waterfall. Right off the other side of the highway is the Sambaa Deh Territorial Park which offers 20 non-powered campsites.
Sambaa Deh Falls is the result of the waters of the Trout River being squeezed through a narrow gorge, creating a gauntlet of powerful water. The waters then continue on until the Trout River empties into the MacKenzie River.
The park was created in 1992 and is located between Fort Providence and Fort Simpson. Fishing in the river includes Arctic Grayling.
