Seems a lot of the underground utilities are in work.
Also interesting the are getting closer to Bugg Spring.
Bugg Spring - Wikipedia |
Yes, 470 will be widened from where Dabney ends to the county line including an additional bridge span under a road agreement with Lake County. From the County line to the west end of Middleton CR470 is being widened and rerouted under a road agreement with Sumter County.
Bugg Springs was specifically addressed in the impact studies of N/LD/D because of the sensitive acoustical (sonar) testing done there by the Navy. While the construction period was a concern, they deemed is should have no long-term impact to the Navy's work there.
As to how the Navy chose Bugg Springs for sonar testing, it's anybody's guess, my 20 years in the Navy on submarines taught me not to ask questions about oddities, the justification was always more odd than the situation.
