Taken at an average of $1200/km, say x 2 for no cost share you get $2400/km. probalbly a little on the lite side the road to McFaulds camp would not be that strenuous on the NOT pocket book especially if the costs are spread across all users of the camp to cost share. We should not be footing the bill alone. This i am sure is an eagerly anticipated project for local contractors who by this time are taking care of business getting their equipment ready in anticipation of commencing construction of the overland/ice-road in to camp. This season, equipment should be staged at camp to enable work on the road from both ends. A great work project for local businesses and once completed will most surely make a very interesting road trip. imo
