The ice bridge in Dawson City, Yukon is officially open to the public.
The temporary bridge across the Yukon River connects Dawson City with two communities, West Dawson and Sunnydale. The bridge officially opened on Monday.
"I think we're a day ahead of schedule," said Jim Regimbal, superintendent for Yukon's Department of Highways and Public Works.
"It's perfect and we're a week ahead from last year."
The bridge can hold cars and trucks that weigh less than 5,000 kilograms. Regimbal says that it is nice to get the bridge done in time for Christmas.
