The GNWT was seeking input from community residents on the proposed Mackenzie Valley Highway (MVH) between Wrigley and Norman Wells. Your input was used to revise and update the MVH Developer’s Assessment report which is required to advance the environmental assessment.
When completed, the MVH will be a two-lane gravel highway from Wrigley to Norman Wells, approximately 321 kilometres in length.
