A simple concrete deck, 'integral' type bridge would suffice.

It would be similar (in looks) to the existing Bailey Rd. bridge, that is just south of the Okahumpka Service Plaza over the Florida Turnpike.

The reason the arch bridge over 27/441 was built like it was, is because of the amount of area it would have taken to building the approaches on both sides...in making the bridge deck itself level.

Any bridge over 44...will not be so constrained.

My guess is that the developer will actually make it wide enough to get a pickup truck over it in addition to golf carts...so as to be able to more conveniently service landscaping, utilities, etc.

Not really a big deal at all.
