Canada finally connects its road network to the Arctic Ocean
In short: The opening of the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway marked the first time Canada achieved a continuous road connection from sea to sea to sea. This video follows a journey along the route, exploring the reality of traveling this newly completed all-weather link to the Arctic coast.
Until the completion of the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway, Canada lacked a permanent road connection to the Arctic Ocean. The highway, which opened last year, serves as the final piece of infrastructure required to link the country's road network across its three coastlines.
The project represents a significant engineering achievement in connecting remote northern communities. While the goal was to drive the full length of this new all-weather path, the journey highlights the unpredictable nature of navigating such a newly established route in the high Arctic.
