Construction of the Wollaston Lake Road will resume again this fall. The federal government has indicated that they will contribute an additional $2M toward the construction of an all-season road to Wollaston Lake for the 2022 construction season. This construction phase, which will kick off phase 2A, will begin September 1, 2022 and run until the end of November. “At this point, we are optimistic that funding will continue and that we will be able to complete the entire project in due course, once funding is confirmed,” says Lyle Bouvier, CEO of Points Athabasca. “This is excellent news for the Athabasca residents who have been working on this project, as well as for the community.”
The Wollaston Lake Road project began in 2020 after a twelve-year hiatus, supported by $17M in federal and provincial construction funding to date. The project was awarded to Points Athabasca who has employed 34 workers on the project with 29 of them from the Athabasca region. The road, once completed, will be 104km long, connecting the Northern Settlement of Wollaston Lake and Hatchet Lake First Nation and its 1500 residents to highway 905 around kilometer 149 and add two more much-needed months of overland travelling.
