"Build an all-weather road linking Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk ; extending the Dempster Highway to the Arctic Ocean."

"In Economic Action Plan 2011, the Government of Canada committed $150 million over five years towards the construction of an all-season road between the Town of Inuvik and the Hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk, in the Northwest Territories." (Source 1)

“Progress continues on planning for the construction of an all-weather road between Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk. The 2013 winter construction season is complete and the summer construction activities are underway.” (Source 2)

"Highways director Kevin McLeod says he's confident the contractors, E Gruben Transport and Northwind Industries, can finish the project on time by the winter of 2018." (Source 3)

"Construction on the 137-kilometre Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk highway isn't moving as fast as planned, but the Northwest Territories government is telling people not to worry. This is the second construction season for the highway, which must be worked on in the winter months due to permafrost. Last year, crews on both the Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk sides missed their 20-kilometre targets. Twelve kilometres of road were built on the Inuvik side, and 16 on the Tuktoyaktuk side." (Source 4)
