It will be interesting to see how this plays out. The city will likely force the province to fund the Cumberland portion or retake responsibility for the entire stretch of highway simply by refusing to do anything. And rightly so. If it is just a local road (rather than a provincially significant one), then the city is justified in treating it as such, and "local" traffic levels east of Orleans don't necessitate twinning. At least not from the perspective of "local" taxpayers in the City of Ottawa.
