It could be done, but, it would be very expensive, and, there are fewer people in Cape Breton than in PEI, and, Nova Scotia is notoriously Halifax-centric. Iy would be considered a waste of money.
Roads to Bridgewater and Kentville on the other hand would make a lot of sense to government planners based in Halifax. These roads after all would feed into Halifax, A road to Cape Breton on the other hand goes in the wrong direction.

Yes indeed throw in that pesky swing bridge of only two lanes on the C.B. side of the causeway and there are ...challenges.
I can see the 101 twinning being completed at the Cold brook Exit and with the Bridgewater population and industry growth its just a matter of time to build the 103 there.The Province has started the extension of the 104 to about the 242 km marker to land at the reservation that already has a twinned overpass bridge being used.
