File Route Transtaiga, Qu bec.jpg thumb right 280px The Transtaiga Road. The Trans Taiga Road French Route Transta ga is an extremely remote wilderness road in northern Quebec , Canada . It is km to mi 582 long to Centrale Brisay and another km to mi 84 along the Caniapiscau Reservoir , all of it unpaved. The road s northeastern terminus is almost at the 55th parallel north , making it the northernmost continuous road in Eastern North America. Though the terminus is also the farthest point from any town 745 km or 466 miles from Radisson, Quebec Radisson via road in North America , it is nonetheless relatively close km to mi 190 to Schefferville, Quebec Schefferville geographically. It does not, however, provide access to it, as the intervening terrain is unpassable even in an all terrain vehicle. The road s end is also close to the southern limit of Nunavik , Quebec s Inuit region. The Trans Taiga Road branches off from the James Bay Road French Route de la Baie James at kilometer 544. It was built as an access road to the hydro electric generating stations of Hydro Qu bec along the La Grande River and Caniapiscau River . Several outfitter s are established along this road, providing wilderness hunting and fishing expeditions, and some may also provide fuel, food and lodging. Otherwise, there are no services along this road. While the Trans Taiga Road is reportedly drivable by ordinary passenger vehicles for its entire length, Hydro Quebec recommends use of 4WD vehicles for the section between Brisay and Caniapiscau, which is of a rougher grade than the rest of the road. As the name of the road indicates, this road winds its way through Quebec s vast boreal forest, characterized by stunted spruce and pine, bogs and rocky outcroppings. Taiga is the Russian term for the same type of forest. It has been suggested by both regional and provincial officials to build a link from ... 5 Km Mi 0 0 Start of Trans taiga Road at km 544 of the James Bay Road 23 14 Emergency telephone ... more details
