TCH will bypass Cobden on the other side of Muskrat Lake. I too wonder if new alignments should just have 4 lanes right from the get-go. I can see 2+1 on the sections between Bruce Street (Renfrew) and Cobden, then between Renfrew County Road 40 and Chalk River, but between Mattawa and North Bay? It seems to me that the finalized design doesn’t allow for 2+1 in the short term unless MTO’s down to tearing out the extra 3rd lane. It also doesn’t help that widening TCH between Denlou and turnoff to Joseph Island will largely require realigning the highway anyway (with few exceptions). For the last part, you can check out my drawings back at #787 with swimmer_spe’s suggestions in #789.
