Yukon Department of Highways and Public Works (DHPW)

The Yukon Department of Highways and Public Works manages approximately 4,800 kilometers of territorial roads and highways in one of Canada's most remote and geographically challenging territories. The Alaska Highway (Highway 1) — originally built by the US Army during World War II — is the primary freight artery connecting the Yukon to British Columbia and ultimately to the rest of North America. Other key routes include the Klondike Highway (Highway 2) and the Campbell Highway (Highway 4). Commercial trucking in the Yukon faces extreme cold weather challenges, with temperatures regularly reaching -40°C. The department administers commercial vehicle regulations, provides 511Yukon for road conditions, and coordinates with Alaska DOT&PF for the critical Alaska Highway corridor.
