Does anyone know when or if they're going to expand A-73 south of St. Georges to US-201 and to the north, a possible interchange with A-70?

Well to A-70 maybe a few decades according to my Quebec map.
Unlikely to ever head north to A-70. 70 will likely always be an orphaned Autoroute due to the limited traffic volumes there. The twinning work on PR-175 is more due to safety because there are low volumes; it won't be to freeway standards, won't follow the whole route, and I do not believe it will carry the A-73 designation. I find it interesting that A-70 and A-85 (future) are basically the same route and yet one is E-W and one is N-S because of how the Gaspé Peninsula skews directions.
here some good pictures of PQ-175 upgrades http://www.mtq.gouv.qc.ca/portal/page/portal/grands_projets/trouver_grand_projet/axe_routier_73_175#visuels (http://www.mtq.gouv.qc.ca/portal/page/portal/grands_projets/trouver_grand_projet/axe_routier_73_175#visuels)
and a couple of additionnals pics at various places
