This image shows a curved section of the recently completed road as it enters the frame at right foreground, proceeding left and then curves back right to cross a small bridge in middle ground before climbing a small incline and exiting the frame at right in far middle ground. The road section approaching the bridge has been significantly built up with gravel to match the bridge elevation. Ground on the inside of the curve has been cleared and the vegetation pushed into a row at right. Heavy spruce and birch forest is evident on both sides of the road.
