The project involves the construction of an access road from the site of the new Aupaluk generating station, which will be commissioned in early 2027, to an existing service road. The length of the road will be approximately 300 m and the surface will have an average width of 7 m. The right-of-way will be 8.8 m with shoulders. Some grading work will be required for construction. The granular material required for the construction of the access road would come from a quarry or borrow pit located approximately 1 km west of the work site.
