Now here is an interesting final report released February 2011.

Have a look at some of the maps for future development of HRM.
Also notice more roundabouts proposed (conceptual).
Quote:
13. Conclusions -
A. With provision of recommended intersection improvements, all study area
intersections with the exception of the Burnside Drive / Highway 111 eastbound
ramp intersection will provide satisfactory performance for through street
movements during 2016 with Highway 107, Phase 1.
B. While the Beaver Bank By-Pass may divert some trips from Glendale Drive over
the next 10 to 15 years, the existing two lane cross section of Glendale Drive will
be approaching capacity by 2026. Plans should be prepared for widening Glendale
Drive to a four lane street with appropriate auxiliary lanes.
C. Duke Street will provide a temporary connection to Highway 102 for Highway 107,
Phase 1 to accommodate projected 2016 volumes. However, the additional
capacity of future Highway 107 phases with direct connections to Highway 102 will
be required to provide satisfactory performance for projected 2026 volumes.
E. Construction of the future phase of Highway 107 from Burnside Drive extension
to meet existing Highway 107 east of Akerley Boulevard will divert traffic to
Highway 118 and Highway 107 east of Highway 118. This will reduce Burnside
Drive volumes which could improve levels of performance at all Burnside Drive
intersections, including the Highway 111 ramp intersections

This is suppose to start construction in 2012.
