After weeks of planning and preparation, a three-man crew lifted thousands of kilograms of ice and truck from the Des Rocher River before the river ice melted. The truck fell through the ice on Jan. 2 roughly 80 metres off the Fort Chipewyan winter road. Then it took two weeks to design and build a frame system that could lift the truck from the frozen river. Public Works coordinated with Big Ice to make sure there were no temporary winter road closures as the crew removed the truck. swilliscraft@postmedia.comLoading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
