RE: RE: 100 trucks on the road? Your really close the number presented to Eli was 800 trucks per day. The figure I do believe included service trucks to the mine site. My question is what happens when more mines open? 2000 - 3000 trucks a day ? The ore haul road idea is ridiculous. A couple of thousand trucks a day on a dirt road in NWO 365 days a year is not just ridiculous it is dangerous. 50-100 fatalities a year would not be unusual. The stretch of highway between Thunder Bay and Nipigon see's 10-20 fatalities a year and it's 100km of paved single lane highway with about 2500 trucks a day. Driving conditions on the "road" would be extreme, snow, ice and cold in winter and a dust storm with limited visibility in summer.
The ore haul road idea is a joke and a bad one.
