This access road to Turnor Lake was built when Highway 155 was built to La Loche during the 1960s.[3]

Highway 909 was rebuilt beginning in 1997, and this update was completed in September 2001.[4] It is entirely unpaved.

Along Highway 909 are local trails to lakes along the route. The Palmbere Lake access trail is 6 km from the turn-off and the McAnesley Lake access trail is 22 km from the turn-off.[5]

At the end of Highway 909 in the village of Turnor Lake a 12 km road leads south-east to the northern shore of Frobisher Lake.
