History

"No. 155 Highway was begun in 1947 as a development road".

It reached Buffalo Narrows in 1957 where a ferry was needed to cross the Kiezie Channel.

"The new road follows closely the old wagon trail cut 100 years earlier by the HBC." (Star-Phoenix-Aug.29.1963)

The official opening of Highway 155 from Green Lake to Buffalo Narrows was held in August 1963 in Green Lake. The old trail to La Loche was rebuilt soon after to become part of Highway 155.
