The problem with the Centennial Bridge in Miramichi is that it is a narrow two lane structure, and the south side approaches to the bridge do not have the ROW necessary to allow for highway twinning.
Okay, so twinning 11 on the south side does require taking a few houses out.

Not saying that definitively, of course. More curious.
I guess we can twin the super-2 between N.B.-11 Exit 119 and N.B.-8 Exit 180 still.

In some sense, I also think it’s good that the bridge isn’t being rehabilitated for now. We should be looking at building a 4-lane bridge anew instead (because the current bridge has no shoulder).
