Route Monts Otish

The Route des Monts Otish, now known as the Route 167 Extension, is the road development project designed to connect the communities of Chibougamau and Mistissini to the Renard Diamond Project by way of several other prospective mining projects and the proposed Albanel-Témiscamie-Otish Park.

The Route 167 Extension is one part of the Quebec Government's bigger picture development plans for northern Quebec referred to as the Plan Nord.  A website has been set up by the government to supply information to the general public about the Plan.  It is currently only available in french.

A video montage of support from many of the stakeholders of the Plan Nord is available on the site as well.
