People are driving on Dawson City's $10 ice bridge

The ice bridge built by some industrious amateurs in Dawson City seems to be working. Kyler Mather, one of the builders, said people have been using it for a few weeks to drive their vehicles across the Yukon River, between West Dawson and downtown. And it cost "No more than ten bucks in chainsaw gas," according to Mather. Mather and his friends had better luck than the Yukon government. The territory hired engineers in December to build an ice road crossing in Dawson. One month and $150,000 later, those efforts were going nowhere and the government pulled the plug.
