They are starting with 10 km (maybe to about Gundy Rd or Shoal Lake FN turnoff for those familiar with the area?), and eventually, in stages, will also twin the remaining distance to Kenora (I don't know if they will twin into Kenora itself or just to the bypass turnoff). True the Kenora-Vermillion Bay portion is quite dangerous (and seems to be where a lot of the fatal accidents occur), but it is also less busy because you don't get near the seasonal vacation traffic (especially on Friday/Sunday nights). Traffic always seems to drop off considerably once you reach the Kenora bypass (17A).
