Didn’t Goldwingnut talk about this in one of his videos??
Correct, the FDoT would not allow the developer to build the bridges any wider over fears of people throwing things off the bridges onto the traffic below. You know, this is one of senior citizen's favorite pass times, throwing thigs off of bridges. Stupid bureaucrats!

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
