Gallant made a vague reference to twining in Miramichi in a ctv interview, probably hoping voters in Miramichi will mis-understand and think they are getting a twinned highway and thank him with their vote.

As most have stated This link is probably the real facts as its somewhat sensible:

In short, according to the article, contracting private sector to twin the highway could save money.

Here's the thing though: Hines didn't say how money will be saved. Could he be copping out?

Also, in the picture, why is 104 realigned between Exit 29A and Exit 30 when there is already a separate alignment from Highway 4? I mean, I can understand realigning 104 away from 4 but realigning 104 once again (when the area isn't even built up like Antigonish)? Why?

The minister said the plans include $1.8 million for a roundabout to be built at the intersection of routes 8, 117 and 126 as well as funding to alter the King George Highway — adding left turning lanes, for instance.

Traffic data murky as Liberals try to justify twinning Route 11

Does anybody know if government studies are available at a library? Specifically this one (TCH study) https://books.google.ca/books?id=QaB...Zc4FBDoAQgkMAA
Or this one (80’s transportation strategy)

Does anyone know if they are starting to construct the bridges needed to twin Highway 11 at Shediac Bridge and Cocagne?

Lol could it be that the government’s trying to stem emigration (if not encourage more people to settle in)?

Twinning Route 1 did nothing to stem emigration out of Charlotte County.
Twinning Route 2 did nothing to stem emigration out of Victoria/Madawaska Counties.

There's something happening politically in the fall in NB that I think might be a potential reason for the twinning...

Gallant's from Kent County, and provincial election for you guys is this fall. Now I see why.

The Legislative Library would be your best bet. The Government Documents Librarian there is brilliant.

a lot of lives have been lost on this highway and many accidents. it's time to get this twined at least to bouctouche before more accidents happen. we've been hearing about for over 10 years. let's get it done and stop using it as a political tool

Based on a quick glance, both the Saint John Main Branch and the Moncton Public Library have a copy of the first one in their respective Reference collections. Saint John also has the second one in their Reference collection. You can contact the SJ Reference Dept at 506-643-7224

Yikes. Another fatal accident on the undivided stretch of 104 from last week. (Ps: Motorcyclists are really vulnerable.) What happened to the promise to start work in April this year...

Highway 102 Future Upgrades

Highway 102 is the most traveled highway in Canada east of Quebec, and I think it deserves to be world-class.

Short term things they should do:

-Update signage
-Ditch the sequential exit system
-Widen to six lanes in heavily-traveled areas
-Provide a collector-express system between exit 3 to bayers road
-Repave/re-do outdated interchanges
-Replace 104 trumpet with a T-Stack Interchange

Long term things they should do:

-Widen entire highway to six lanes
-Provide a collector-express system through Truro
-Use High-Mast lighting in Truro, Halifax, and between exit 3 and 4C in Sackville
-Replace the overloaded Hwy 101 Cloverleaf with a more efficient design

Welcome to the forums!

I agree that they need to upgrade the 102/104 interchange at Truro. It is badly underbuilt given the traffic volumes.

If you observe carefully driving westbound on the 104 before the current interchange, they did preliminary grading for an off ramp leading to the 102 southbound, but this project has lain fallow for at least the last 15-20 years or so. Very frustrating. The interchange also needs new lighting and improved signage, perhaps similar to what we have at the Highway 1 & 2 interchange at River Glade (just west of Salisbury NB).

I agree that the 102 southbound should be three lanes as well, beginning just before the HSIA exit (similar to the 102 northbound), making a six lane highway.

The 102/101 interchange at Bedford is frankly an embarrassment. This needs to be completely redone.

Your other points are well taken, but do current traffic volumes (AADT) justify them??

102 northbound is 3 lanes by default. This is the old single carriageway before the highway was twinned.

From Millers Lake climbing up to the Airport you originally had a travel lane and passing lane northbound and a single lane southbound…..now all 3 lanes northbound.

Once over the crest of the hill at the airport it reversed: a single lane northbound and a travel lane and passing lane southbound up to the airport. Now all 3 lanes are northbound to just before the Enfield Exit where it reduces to 2 lanes northbound.

Until the early ‘70s there wasn’t an interchange at the airport. Just a T intersection, stop sign and flashing light.
