Default Re: New Toll Road. Impact?

"To some, it might seem to be an odd place to put a new highway. But the county's first major east-west route in a decade is being built there for several reasons:

Take a look at this Google map and you will see that this new road is nowhere near the Villages... it is 20 to 30 miles away serving as "a southern bypass around Apopka" in Orange County. This is the other side of Mt. Dora.
