First trucks made week-long pitstop on river bank due to overflow on newly completed winter road. On the first attempt to cross the overflow, a truck’s front tires went through approximately eight inches and the vehicle had to be towed out, in the report. No one was hurt, and there was no damage done.

An official says time and money was running out. No decisions have been made yet on what to do next winter.

Normal ice build up not occurring. It seems like the ice along the shoreline is not moving into the river.

Now three years in a row the river is jammed, upriver from Dawson, and that leaves a big open lead of water right in front of town.

Researchers from the National Research Council Canada investigated why the Yukon River didnt freeze at the George Black ferry crossing, where the ice bridge is usually built, for the last two winters.

Permafrost underneath the structure is believed to have melted since last fall and key parts of the building might not be able to withstand strong winds or an earthquake, according to a professional engineer hired by Dawson City.
