Hey All,
This is very positive news. The east-west route will serve the First Nations communities and their need for all-season access as well as for the future commerce in the area. Back in June, I was sent a map of the proposed route from McFaulds to Webequie Junction and on to Landsdowne. From what I could tell the route that was outlined would minimize the number of water crossings down to 4 rivers and would tie into the existing winter road system that is already managed by Matawa and drastically minimizes any adverse impacts to wildlands and traditional tribal areas and would also limit obstruction from Ontario enviro and permitting boards.
Short list of equipment needed:
plows, dozers, backhoes, graders, compactors, off-road trucks, articulated trucks, fuel trucks, water trucks, generators, excavators, pavers.........and all the support equipment and services involved in operation and maintenance.
Northern prosperity is on the way!!!!
Warm regards,
