All 6 are open now?! Wow, finally. That was already underway when I was commuting weekly to New Brunswick back in '11. We've been enjoying the new lanes the last few times we drove up, but the old ones were closed.

Wonder how much it'll shorten our trip. The truth is that going north (from 6, of course), we rarely hit bottlenecks in that part of the turnpike, but coming home, of course, the merge has often been a problem.
