The Upper Ottawa Valley is just too sparse and remote.

I’m open to the idea of “460” from Renfrew to Huntsville too.
In fact I’ve thought about it for quite a bit.
The thing is, plans have been in place to have the freeway go from North Bay to Renfrew/Nipissing boundary. Granted, from there to the CFB, there’s still ~100 km to go. But having freeways on both ends then 2-lane road in the middle? Okay...?
I’m the type that says “we may as well bridge the gap”. That’s just me though.
Thanks for your input too.
