The Dempster Highway is closed in both directions and to all traffic at kilometre 378, the Eagle River Bridge.

“At this time, emergency repairs are underway and no additional traffic will be allowed to cross the bridge while repairs are underway,” the Yukon government said Tuesday.

“These repairs, which are a temporary solution, will take at least three days and are subject to conditions onsite. Once the repairs are complete, we’ll be able to determine load capacity and timelines for when vehicles can safely cross.

“Do not travel in this area at this time.”
