Northwest Territories highways
Highway 5, known more commonly as the Fort Smith Highway, completed in 1966, is a highway in Canada's Northwest Territories, which travels through Wood Buffalo National Park and connects Fort Smith to Hay River. Area roads past Fort Smith connect into Alberta with Smith Landing, Fitzgerald, Hay Camp, and Peace Point, and form a circle route through Wood Buffalo National Park. Residents of Fort Chipewyan have petitioned the Alberta government for a 50 km (31 mi) road to connect with the area roads out of Fort Smith.
