Unfrozen Bridge Prevents Travelling

Dawson City thrives on the traveling of a frozen river. But this year, the river has frozen upstream. More than 100 people live off the gird and rely on the frozen river to travel. In the summer, ferries help with the traveling, but during the winter, they rely on the ice bridge. Since the river has frozen upstream, over 100 people are now stocking up and running low on storage. The weather has been relatively warmer so the freezing is not in sight. Some people are walking a few kilometres to travel across the frozen sections. It has added more than two hours to traveling on a toboggan. Some people have considered moving due to the inconvenience.
