Road across Top of the World opens for the season for intrepid Canadian drivers

The season for the northernmost Canada-U.S. Border crossing along the Top of the World Highway, connecting Yukon and Alaska, officially began on May 18, allowing vehicle access.
Seasonal weather conditions and previous COVID-19 disruptions caused delays and shorter operating periods before the 2024 extended hours and season.
The border crossing is open daily during the daytime hours from early morning until early evening, Yukon time, and travelers need to take the government-operated George Black ferry across the Yukon River before reaching the highway.
More than 11,600 travellers used this northernmost Canada-U.S. Border crossing in 2024, with a caution that Yukon is one hour ahead of Alaska according to CBSA advisories.
The border crossing is scheduled to close on September 15, and while current operations improved, the former Dawson City mayor said there remains room for further enhancements.
