Saskatchewan Highway 962

Highway 962 is an isolated provincial highway in the far north region 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 (ice) road forms across Lake Athabasca, connecting to Highway 962 and allowing access to Fond-du-Lac and other communities to the east. Highway 962 is about 40 km (25 mi) long.
