And would be totally unneeded. With the double bridge over the McKenzie river, the only pinch points are the Black Sturgeon bridge and the Nipigon bridge - until is is finished. The road itself is not the issue as if anything happened (culvert washout) it could be repaired in a days and the traffic loads aren't that high on this stretch of the road.
Inconvenient yes, but not critical infrastructure in the true sense of the words.
