Two-Year Multi-Disciplinary Study 
Completed December 2007

The completion of the Nunavut-Manitoba Route Selection Study represents the culmination of a cooperative effort between the KIA, Manitoba, Nunavut and Canada to establish a preferred alignment for an all-weather road connecting the Kivalliq Region and Northern Manitoba. In addition to connecting to the North American road system, this new road would also enhance opportunities for resource development such as mining and tourism; benefit employment, small business development and standard of living; and reduce the cost of transporting people and goods between the Kivalliq Region and urban centres in Manitoba. Please review the final newsletters for more information.

With the completion of the Route Selection Study, a minimum five-year road development period is estimated for detailed route mapping, environmental assessment, permitting, functional and detailed engineering. Your comments are important to this project. Please feel free to contact members of the Project Working Group and your local government representatives for any comments on this study or possible future phases of the Nunavut-Manitoba road.
