La Grande-Rivière Airport rehabilitation project

The Gouvernement du Québec is investing $32,020,800 to rehabilitate airport pavements, upgrade the drainage system, and perform other related works at the La Grande-Rivière Airport.

The rehabilitation project will maintain the airport in good condition, meet Transport Canada safety standards and meet the growing demand for diverse goods from communities and businesses operating in Nunavik. This project is essential to ensure access and security throughout northern Québec. La Grande-Rivière Airport is a crucial logistics base for transporting goods and people in the Nord-du-Québec region. In the context of the forest fires in the summer of 2023, the airport played a crucial role in evacuating people and deploying emergency crews.
