Hwy 8 continued? Or Hwy 10?
[edit]The NWT's 511 site map shows this road with a #10 shield on it, compared to #8 for the Dempster. Unfortunately, the 511 site seems locked into a map and not a text section commenting on highway conditions, so it is impossible to read specific information.
I had assumed the road, if it was numbered at all, would become part of Highway #8, but it seems to have been given its own number, but if it is Highway 10, that begs the question: which is Highway 9? GBC (talk) 02:40, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- I spent some time last week researching this as I was updating the Dempster Highway article and I came up empty. The only reference for any numbering of the ITH was that same map. Nothing else on the NWT highways site (or anywhere else) gives the highway a number. All I could determine was that the ITH was that it was not ever officially described as part of the Dempster. I think we just have to wait and see what the NWT decides to call it. - EronTalk 05:39, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- I received a reply from GNWT to whom I sent a letter on Tuesday. The ITH is indeed Highway 10, while the number 9 has been reserved.
- "The Inuvik Tuktoyaktuk Highway is officially Highway 10. We have reserved #9 for future infrastructure.
- "Thank you,
- "Greg (Hanna)"
- So, there it is. Official. Speculation on my part: is Highway 9 going to be the 97-km all-weather road to Wha Ti? I can't think of any other major roadworks that the NWT would be ambitious about, other than extending Highway 1 down the Mackenzie River valley, or an all-weather road from Yellowknife north to the diamond mining area at the Nunavut border.GBC (talk) 04:38, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
Could some skilled person please add the infobox to the article for this highway, similar to the ones for other territorial highways? GBC (talk) 03:29, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
