The recent Villages video suggested that the Water Lily bridge would be the last one to be completed around the first of 2021.

When the Water Lily bridge is moved into place across the turnpike, there's still plenty of work to be done:

Decorative piers on each side of the bridge, like what was done for the Chitty Chatty bridge across 44.

Approach ramps to each side of the bridge.

On the Water Lily side, there will also be a short span above the natural gas pipeline right of way.

On the north side, the MMP parallel to Meggison Road will need to be completed for the connection to the Brownwood Bridge over 44.

Still, seeing that span across the turnpike will be a great milestone!
