The Pehdzéh Kı̨́ First Nation and NWT government say they have agreed on a new “corridor” through which the Mackenzie Valley Highway could be routed.
Previously, the path of the proposed all-season road through Wrigley and into the Sahtu was a source of contention.
In a joint news release on Monday, the GNWT and First Nation said they had “reached consensus” on a new corridor about five kilometres east of the one previously put forward.
