(Utoo Radio - February 16, 2026) - The Tłı̨chǫ Highway, connecting Yellowknife to the settlements, reopened after a 48-hour closure due to extreme weather.

The February 13th Department of Infrastructure shutdown was necessary for safety owing to zero visibility and drifting snow.

Despite the inconvenience, community officials prioritized safety. GNWT and Tłı̨chǫ Government collaborated to maintain the highway, which teams cleared quickly.

Although winter driving conditions persist, the roadway now allows normal transit to continue, reducing concerns about isolation in Tłı̨chǫ villages. Please check road reports and prepare for winter situations.
