Gravel road to Tuktoyaktuk
Til the end of the world
Gravel road to Tuktoyaktuk finished
Long-distance travelers take note: Tuktoyaktuk, the second northernmost community on the Canadian mainland, can now be reached via a gravel road.

Tuktoyaktuk in Canada’s Northwest Territories has fascinated many long-distance travelers. Only the way there in the far north of Canada has been difficult so far and led over an ice road that was open from December to April. Outside of this time, Tuktoyaktuk could only be reached by plane. This ice road on the Mackenzie River was so infamous it even got its own TV series (Ice Road Truckers).
In future, the journey to Tuktoyaktuk on Canada’s Arctic coast will be a little less dangerous and arduous, because Tuk, as the town is called by its residents, has been connected via a gravel road since the end of 2017. The new Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway is part of the legendary Dempster Highway.
The planning for the highway had been in progress since 1960. Construction began in 2013. The 127-kilometer highway cost 300 million dollars. The maximum speed on the gravel site is limited to 70 km / h. Around 900 people live in Tuktoyaktuk, most of whom live from whaling. The new highway promises a small tourist boom.
