Good news for residents of Dettah and those wanting a quick place to go view the Northern Lights. The Dettah Ice Road now now open for light traffic.

Vehicles up to 5,000kg can now cross the road. Drivers are reminded that speed limits on the ice road are established to ensure public safety.

For those new to Yellowknife, the Dettah Ice Road is a good place to go and experience drive on an Ice Road and also an excellent place to try and spot Northern Lights without having to travel outside of town.

Dettah Ice Road is now Open

By on December 24, 2009 in Video, Yk Life

Earlier today I received a message informing me that the Dettah Ice Road was now open to the public. As I had to venture downtown anyways I thought I would take a drive out on to the ice and film it. I was certainly not the only one out there, word definitely travels quickly within town.

Experience the first drive on the Dettah Ice Road for the winter season of 09/10 through my trucks eyes.

Dettah Ice Road Construction

By on December 22, 2009 in City

I got word earlier this morning that the Dettah Ice Road was being constructed so I thought I would take a drive down after work and take a look. They had in fact started and where nearly done plowing. There was a crew working at the entrance of the ice road to ensure residents stayed off until complete. The Dettah Ice road is used to connect residents of Dettah and Yellowknife.
