However, under a study commissioned by Canada’s Van Horne Institute (VHI) and released in 2016, the government of Alberta asked VHI to examine the viability of moving bitumen on a purpose-built railway through Alaska.“Our operating plan considers the potential to move a million to a million-and-a-half barrels of bitumen per day, among other shipments,” says Treadwell.

The current proposed route of the A2A would incorporate existing railway connections in Canada and would generally head along a southeasterly route through Yukon, Fort Nelson in northeast British Columbia and finally connect with Fort McMurray in Alberta. x��]K�E���?�1�]�Ab��Xx�⎄@��ax,@F�l@B,,��hƲ�1~5���6�m����s��ᎎ�g��dVUǧ��>�NUV>��/2*s6����O���m endobj

Of the $17 billion construction budget, $14 billion would be spent in Canada.“It’s basically a large civil construction project that would include a rail corridor of about 500 feet wide across a route that is relatively straight and relatively flat,” says Treadwell. “It would cross some areas of permafrost, though not many and a few areas of wetlands and would involve some tunneling and bridging.”The project would use steel rails, likely incorporate concrete ties and require transportation of a large amount of gravel ballast. A2A Rail says thay have been moving forward with the project over the past year, having assembled a team of 40 people and spent US$60 million on the engineering, route planning, environmental studies and regulatory applications. “The long and the short of it is that ports in Alaska’s Cook Inlet have already been exporting oil in one form or another since the early 1960s. 3 0 obj

Matt Vickers, a partner with G7G, said all First Nations along the proposed corridor gave letters of support for the plan, except Fort Nelson, so they altered the proposed route to largely avoid northern B.C. “If we could begin construction today, we’d be looking at a three- to four-year construction project.” comments for this post are closed CALGARY — The CEO of TC Energy Corp. says the company will begin moving more oil...OAKVILLE, ONT.

As Alberta faces challenges to move oil by pipeline to Canada’s west coast, the Alaska–Alberta Railway Development Corporation (A2A Rail) has been working since 2015 on plans to build and operate a new 2,400-kilometre railway connecting the existing Alaska Railroad to northern Alberta.
