These have all involved vehicles attempting either to cross or turn onto this Highway which has a speed limit of 55 mph. And this is despite the fact that there are traffic lights at all 3 intersections. Add golf carts to the mix and who knows what the carnage will be.
I seriously doubt that the developers will be able to acquire permits to tunnel under this Highway or to build a bridge over it.
Greed at work!!!
A while back it was in the Daily Sun that Morse already had acquired Four permits for Four Tunnels to go under 44. Stating that it took too much time and was very costly when he crossed over 441 years ago, so this time quick and under without disrupting traffic in the process.
