Highway 8 will become safer and more reliable through a federal investment of $15 million under the Rural and Northern Communities Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program.
The funding will support the replacement of three aging culverts along this important transportation corridor. The project will replace three large culverts (water crossings) along Highway 8, part of the Yukon-NWT Dempster Highway corridor. The work will help maintain safe travel conditions, improve infrastructure reliability, and support the long-term resilience of this important transportation route.
The Dempster Highway is a vital transportation corridor that supports the movement of people, goods and services across the North. Replacing these culverts will help ensure the continued reliability of the transportation network for local communities, businesses and travellers.
