The Deh Cho Bridge is a 1.1 km (0.68 mi) long bridge across an 1.6 km (0.99 mi) span of the Mackenzie River on Highway 3 near Fort Providence, Northwest Territories, Canada. Construction began in 2008 and was expected to be completed in 2010 but faced delays due to technical and financial difficulties. The bridge officially opened to traffic on November 30, 2012. The bridge replaced the prior ferry/ice bridge combination used for river crossing, replacing MV Merv Hardie, the ferry in operation at the time of opening.
