Challenge accepted! I'll get my drones in the air and see what can be seen. I need some additional help though, can you post a copy of the pictures? Where were they seen? Does anyone know where they are now?

I was in the air this post Sunday and filmed this video (12-16 Construction) but I didn't see any sign of bridge work anywhere along the Turnpike. I've also not seen any permit filing for any of the SR44 or SR92 bridges , the only recent filings since this past summer have been for the golf cart bridge on the opposite side of CR468 near the new fire station and the pilings on the south side of SR44 near Brownwood. Nothing yet on the bridge over SR92 (Turnpike), Bailey Bridge, or SR44 at Rohan Rec Center.

The closest indication of the possible location of the northern bridge over the Turnpike is at about 4:37 on the video were you can see the cleared area going around the power lines and angled towards and up to the Turnpike property. This location is consistent with drawings that have been published of the area
