The unseasonably mild weather in the Northwest is impacting construction of winter roads for some First Nations communities.
The time window for essential winter roads to stay open for First Nations in the Northwest is getting shorter.
“By this time on any normal or a better season, semi-trucks would be rolling in now with gas, fuel, housing materials,” he said in an interview on Friday. “We'd be open for all kinds of traffic, but right now there's only a few small trucks that are on, because it's just too rough. The ground is somewhat frozen but there's a lot of rock.”
Fiddler said the ice roads are critical for these communities to bring in materials for projects for the year. Fiddler said they’ve done what they can at this point and it’ll be up to mother nature to harden up the ground and allow the road to fully open.
