RE:RE:Nice post on FL's TwitterThe all season road and the Beren's River Bridge are approved and mostly shovel ready and have passed all the hurdles except the final one - funding. The project will support multiple indigenous communities and not just the mine. The project has been in development for more than 10 years and is supported by all the local communities. The communities have been asking the government to include the funding in the budget. The bridge is about 25 million and the whole project might be 500 million.
I am not sure if the 53 million mentioned in that video is for road from the new all season road to the mine site itself. If so, it won't make any difference unless the all season road is built. And I did not think there was a big problem building that last piece. The barrier has been getting the all season road access to the area, especially as winter ice road hardly usable this past winter due to warm weather. And that might continue or become even worse. One good item is that power line to the area has been constructed and is set to be turned on in the next few months. In fact Frontier has acquired the construction camp that was used during building of the power line and will use that during mine construction.
