I guess I have quite a few questions then:
(1) For Cebequid Pass, has NS decided to take the toll off completely for some of the vehicles? I was thinking that, once NS takes ownership of that stretch of Highway again, instead of removing tolls, it can bring it down from $4 to $2, for example (so essentially halve the price). The tolls collected go towards maintaining the Pass and future twinning of 104 towards Sydney.
(2) That brings it to the next question - Has NS succeeded in convincing Port Hastings and Port Hawkesbury to let the 104 Bypass happen? I’ve heard talks before where both Ports didn’t want it to happen.
(3) Is the rail next to 104 (i.e. near Barney’s River Station) abandoned??
(4) Acajack what was that...
