Noront did a study on where the most efficient placement of a road is. What the governments and natives need to do is to confirm that the study is correct.
When Noront's feasibility study for road came out I was convinced then that is where the road should and will be.
So to me it is not a question of where, But When.

(Rail is another matter for another time, imo.)

So for the last couple of years I was impatiently harping about the lack of confirmation regarding road from them, of the obvious.
