Keep in mind, I drew the whole thing with the assumption that it will be a divided freeway (hence
417 extension). In fact, that's what MTO wanted for 17 up to SSM as well.

The dumb thing is, no one seems to know what has become of those 5 projects between Espanola and Desbarats. Also, the route between Espanola and Denlou was supposedly finalized, but even the locals don't know where it goes.
Maybe I will for real file a FOI with MTO to get the route when I have time, and that's if they've actually finalized the whole thing. Then I will compare it to mine.
So really, the stretch from Petawawa to Rolphton, from Denlou to Desbarats, then from Kakabeka Falls to Shabaqua Corners are guessworks of MTO proposals. (Then you have something like Kenora Bypass, which is a no-brainer.
)
Ps: @swimmer_spe actually made 2 proposals between Hagar (Markstay) and North Bay. Does anyone wanna venture a guess which two?
And yes, credits to swimmer_spe for teaching me how to read terrain maps, without which skill I wouldn't have been able to pull this off, at all.
