Regardless, there is probably enough demand, both from people and for shipping, to make the toll road profitable.

It would only be worth it to go through Saint John for Moncton, PEI and NS if the Maine toll route between I-95 were four-lanes and if NB upgraded its Route 1 to four lanes all the way to the border.
