a 2009 study commissioned by the forestry trade magazine "the working forest", titled "a vision for ontario’s trans canada highway, north bay to the manitoba border", determined that it would cost the ontario government $600 million per year over 25 years to convert the entire length of both highway 17 and highway 11 to freeway, suggesting that a comprehensive plan would be affordable and achievable if the provincial and federal governments could reach a cost-sharing agreement.
