Given that it has taken 15 years to twin just under 60km and factoring the required negotiations with the 3 reserves, I'd estimate 2030-2035 as a reasonable timeline to complete the next 80km.
That's depending on government support, of course.
For the parts that won’t be twinned until much later, maybe it’s time to install tall walls in the centre median? For passing, see my suggestions in the TCH thread (which will rely on strict enforcement).
Also, lol people will have to drive with windows shut even in summer because there could be snakes on the barrier and you sure don’t want them in your car~~~

There is a neat little orphaned section of four lane highway just east of the current alignment south of the Highway 522 intersection, where they are going to realign the railway:
