The Deh Cho Bridge, which opened to the public on November 30, 2012, is a two-lane 1.045 km cable-stayed toll bridge spanning the Mackenzie River near Fort Providence.
The largest public infrastructure project ever undertaken in the Northwest Territories at the time, the bridge was designed to eliminate seasonal interruptions to road travel in the region, when the ice bridge and ferry service was not available.
Further information on the project can be found on the Government of the Northwest Territories' website.
