Saskatchewan Highway 962
Provincial highway in Saskatchewan, Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highway 962 is an isolated provincial highway in the far north part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. For part of the year the highway is not connected to any other highway in the province, but during the winter months a winter road forms across Lake Athabasca, connecting to Highway 962 and allowing access to Fond-du-Lac and other communities to the east. It is about 40 kilometres (25 mi) long.
