Main Project Activities
• Improving the highway maintenance camp at Twin Creeks to support year round road operation.
• Developing new gravel pits and borrow areas to provide road building materials.
• Changing the location of the road to avoid rivers and other areas with difficult terrain.
The most significant re-alignment is planned for the road section between Pelly River and Tenas Creek.
Timeline
The construction is estimated to take 5-7 years to complete, but no start date has been determined yet.
