It looks like Fort McMurray may be getting a secondary access route to the West. The Government of Alberta is (once again) talking about connecting the north west of the province with the north east through highway 686.
I really hope this one gets put on Alberta Transportation's priority list. The East Clearwater highway proposed by the city, IMO, doesn't do much good as it would still require residents to depend on highway 63 and 881.
