It is the most northern Cree village accessible by road. A 90 kilometers (56 mi) paved road, running from Radisson, and parallel to the Grand River, connects Chisasibi to the James Bay Road (French: Route de la Baie James). The James Bay Road (formerly part of Route 109) was built from 1971 to 1974 as part of the James Bay hydroelectric project and connects Matagami to Radisson. Chisasibi Airport is located just west of the village and Air Creebec operates scheduled service from this airport. Though this is the most northern village, it’s not where the road ends. From LG-1 (The Grand River hydrogenerating station), the road continues north to a location called Longue Pointe (Long Point). It is the furthest one can go by road east of the Hudson Bay.
