NB 11 will soon be divided as far north as the Little Bouctouche River (except for a single river crossing). This will extend for a distance of about 50 km north of Moncton.
There are no real plans to continue this project any further. This is a political decision, and since the current government in the province is Conservative, southern and almost monolithically anglophone, this is not likely to change any time soon.
Personally, I think NB should commit to extending twinning of the full length of NB 11 as far north as the QC border, with QC also committing to a new autoroute down the Matapedia valley from Rimouski to connect up. This would essentially complete the potential for freeway construction in eastern QC and NB, and would improve access to the Gaspesie Baie des Chaleur coast to the rest of Quebec. This is a popular tourism destination for Quebecers, so I think this might be a popular decision.
