Likely worthwhile. The area around Burnside and Dartmouth Crossing continues to grow exponentially. Also, since all good things in NS naturally flow to Halifax and area, this should be an easy political sell.

Nothing needs to be done to the 118 as far as I'm concerned.
The Bicentennial Highway portion of the 102 could be widened to six lanes as far as the 101 interchange. I think the 102 between the 118 confluence and Stanfield International Airport also needs to be six lane (it's already five lane now, two inbound and three outbound).

Yes, probably. The Lunenburg/Mahone Bay/Bridgewater area is fairly built up.

They could justify twinning to Berwick for sure, and perhaps eventually to Kingston/Greenwood. The northern part of the Annapolis Valley is surprising ly built up.

I would, yes. The current interchange works, but looks half finished and is awkward (especially the westbound on ramp from the 102 to the 104. Since this is arguably the most important interchange in the province, it should look the part.
The only other piece of highway infrastructure to be built/twinned I can think of is a connector from the 102 (Bicentennial Highway) to the 103 in the Hammonds Plains vicinity. I know this has been talked about in the past, and would provide a convenient shortcut for south shore traffic to access points north rather than having to detour all the way into the current interchange near Bayers Lake.
