Accessible only by air from 1974 to 1976, when a temporary landing strip was cleared on a nearby frozen lake, by an ice road from James Bay from 1977 to 1979 and, since late 1979, by the 666 km long '' Route Transtaïga '' (Trans-Taiga Road) which branches of the '' Route De La Baie James '' (James Bay Road). The worksite was closed after construction ended towards 1984. The 84 kilometres between Caniapiscau and Brisay is not recommended for other than four-wheel drive due to large rocks on the coarse-gravel surface. The site is now used by an outfitter (fishing and Caribou hunting). EXTERNAL LINKS |
