I point out the profit driven due to the fact that some might ignore such a stupid idea - a 99 year lease.

Yes, but I am not talking about that direction. I was more pointing out the next time that the 417 will meet another freeway won't be till Sudbury, and just that section will take likely 50 years or more.

The 417 will be done, uh, never probably.

Someone better with the BC website and government could answer that better, but, from what I am seeing, they are doing work along it in multiple areas. The same cannot be said about the 400, and even less about the 417.
And, no, I do not consider anything near Thunder Bay 417. There are few, if any controlled interchanges. When it opens, the speed does not change.
