The Municipality opened the La Loche winter trail.

Vehicles weighing fewer than 27,500 kilograms may use the winter trail.

Motorists with overly heavy vehicles should stay off the trail as they could damage the road and cause safety hazards.

The Municipality recommends 4×4 vehicles with high ground clearance.

Crews continue to work along the trail, so obey all posted signage and watch for workers and equipment.

Drivers should also reduce speed and drive accordingly when travelling east of the Christina River as there are rough patches.

There are no regular services like road patrol, gas stations or cell phone coverage, so prepare for emergencies.
