Initial steps for the project during the fall of 2018 include drilling test holes and clearing trees at the junction of Highway 24 and Highway 945 on the east side of Highway 24, 1.5 km South East of Chitek Lake. Other work over the winter will include the completion of a design for the project. Construction is targeted to begin sometime in 2019.
