The feds have already committed $22.5 M to the project and there's more still on the table but the city and province aren't seeing eye-to-eye on the project which is hampering further work. I expect they'll need about $9 M to do the two overpasses at Topsail road, perhaps they'll tender for one this year.

Before any pavement can be done on the Kenmount to Blackmarsh Rd section they have to remove the bypass road at Pennywell, finish up the three overpasses, install guardrails, etc. It's still unclear what's happening at Capt Whelan Rd area and I haven't heard any commitment from the city for the linkages, roundabout or whatever they're planning for that so I don't expect to see any pavement in 2016.
