We know it's not 4 lanes and never was going to be. The section rebuilt last year east of Victoria is 2 lanes with bike lanes. There was a left turn lane onto VMP from the eastbound side and maybe a right from the westbound, I don't recall. I imagine the westbound side will also have a left into Maple Leaf at Commerce, and likely a set of lights there. Probably no turn lanes either direction on to Cheese Factory, but with only Parts Canada and the Free Press there, turn lanes aren't really needed. Although with the road being 3 lanes wide just west of Commerce, I could see the 3 lanes being extended east to Cheese Factory and providing a turn into Fedex and to Cheese Factory.
