This report is one of four related studies being conducted by the GNWT Department of Transportation to see if, from a range of perspectives, it makes sense to link these communities with an all weather road.

The primary purpose of this study was to update or develop cost estimates for the extension of the Mackenzie Highway from Wrigley to the Dempster Highway and for an access road from Deline to the Mackenzie Highway near Tulita.

The study uses cost estimates developed by the Department of Transportation, assuming a conventional public tender construction approach (60km/hr design standard, ten-year construction period). It also address a Community Construction Approach to the project in which the highway will be built in small increments over an extended period.
