Totally different types of bridges.

The 468 bridge is made of two concrete spans, with a bent between the southhbound/northbound lanes...so was able to be built/set in two sections.

If the drawing in the paper is correct, the new Villages bridge will be a single span, setting on just two abutments (1 each end, outside of S/N lanes) and will be hard to safely set...without closing both directions of the Turnpike.

But hey...we'll see.
