Once the Yukon River starts to freeze at Dawson, they will pull the barge out of the water for the winter. Once that happens they soon close the Border crossing station as there is no longer traffic on the road to speak of. Once he river freezes solid enough, they will make an ice road over to the far side from Dawson Town. There will be several weeks where the people that live on the far side can't get to Dawson Town until they can drive over the ice road. The Top Hwy or 60 Mile Road, as it is known locally, is not maintained once the barge is pulled and the border station is closed.
