The GNWT proposes to construct an all weather gravel highway along the Mackenzie Valley bewteen Wrigley and Norman Wells.The route mostly follows the existing winter road. Approximately 281 km of new highway will be built from Hodgson Creek (located approximately 1 km north of Wrigley) to Prohibition Creek (located approximately 28 km southeast of Norman Wells).Bridges for the all-season route have already been constructed, except for the Bear River bridge.  This bridge is already permitted and licensed separately.
