^ There are still two contracts that a chugging along. ~15km of new four lane will open in 2015, and another ~10km will open in 2016. I expect a contract for another ~10km to be called either late in 2015 or early in 2016 to continue the four lane southerly across the French River. Certainly though the highway will not be completed by 2017 as had been previously stated. A completion date in the early 2020's is more likely.

I am not certain what the hold up is at the Nobel end of the project, but I think the province may have run into some roadblocks negotiating with first nations for the land required for the new highway.
