The Fort Smith Highway, officially Northwest Territories Highway 5, is a highway in Canada's Northwest Territories. Completed in 1966, the highway travels through Wood Buffalo National Park connecting Fort Smith to Hay River. At the Alberta border it connects to Alberta Highway 48 which runs from Smith Landing, Fitzgerald.[1] This highway connects to other area roads going to 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 50km (30miles) road to connect with the area roads out of Fort Smith.
Since 2017, the highway has been fully paved.[2]
