"made with taking any high spots to fill the low spots."
That's right on M. the process is called cut and fill. The feasibility study for this road will encompass a complete "fill" access assessment, typically you will see many road side blast excavations along the entire road length used to provide the nesessary granular grades for road bed construction if suitable deposits can be confirmed. As the road moves, so will the crushing mill and crew camps etc. etc.
We Canadians have the capacity to build road anywhere.
The road will get built, just what route it would take is another question, Debeers has put a lot of ground work into thier planned route and imo they will play a crucial part in any road going up there.
Right now though, what i am eagerly waiting on is confirmation of an open winter road come this winter.
Road Trip, this winter season as my summer's booked up, although would'nt rule out a fall fishing trip in the area.
Cheers.
