Highway 39 is a minor 29 km (19 mi) long spur route in the
Regional District of Fraser-Fort George. It runs from a point on the
John Hart Highway just north of
Tudyah Lake northwest to the town of
Mackenzie, near the southern arm of
Williston Lake. Highway 39 and the town of Mackenzie were both built in the 1960s as a measure of support for workers on the construction project of the
W. A. C. Bennett Dam (which is not on the same arm of Williston Lake as Mackenzie).[1] The road did not gain its '39' designation until 1975.
