I think its fairly obvious at this point that a 2017 completion isn't going to happen unless they hand out contracts for around 100km of highways within the next 6 months.

The Nipigon River bridge has been under construction for about a year now, but I think it's still got a few years of construction left. Looks like work is still ongoing to build the tower and the footings at this point.
At the Nipigon end, the Nipigon River bridge is under construction, and one of two new Trout Creek bridges west of Nipigon has been finished. Work on the first section of actual grading work for the first stretch of four lane highway has either just begun, or is just about to begin.
No idea when the next contract north of Nobel will commence. Looks like work is going to continue progressing from north to south for the mean time.
