It's a question of competing priorities.
There are many two-lane highways in Quebec where AADTs are high enough to justify twinning but that aren't even in construction yet.
Quebec is spending hundreds of millions on twinning the final stretches of A-85 (TCH) in the east over the next couple of years, for example.
The A-35 is being completed as well south of St-Jean to make a more direct freeway route from Montreal to Boston.
The A-50 near Mirabel and the A-55 south of Trois-Rivières also need full twinning work.
This project to Maine is not high on the priority list. Though the A-73 is being twinned and extended in the Beauce I think.
