An Update on the 2004 Pre-Feasibility Study for a Fixed Link between Labrador and the Island of Newfoundland

Abstract

This study was intended as a follow‐up to a study originally undertaken by the Harris Centre back in 2004. The purpose of this current new study is, first, to determine to what extent new geological research, innovations intunneling technology, changes in labour costs, inflation or other factors may have an impact (positive or negative) on the original cost and time estimates. Secondly, the study aims to measure some possible impacts on the economy of the province overall and on those regions of the province that would be most affected by a change in traffic patterns.
