The progress being made certainly makes that date seem achievable. However, a rumor was going around that it is now set to be spring of 2020 and that it was delayed by FDOT. I haven't seen any official announcements to back that up, but I've also been told that the 3D maps that show the bridges, in the sales center, also say spring of 2020.
So nothing official has been released as far as any date changes that I know of. If the realtors are staying any thing you'll need to check them for lying. It's a real simple test, if their lips are moving, they are lying. Don't trust or believe rumors.

I've connections at the FTE (Florida Turnpike Enterprise) and FDOT and none of them know of anything that has been said to delay the bridge construction over the Turnpike. Obviously things can change at anytime.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
