The Warm Springs bridge shouldn’t be effected., but it is possible the Waterlilly bridge could be, but even there the piles and median look like they leave plenty of room for expansion. As far as walls, the newer sections they are currently working on are putting up residential walls if you look at the work being completed near route 50. This may be good news for those who have thought the noise was a problem? Walls might be great, but vegetation is what really suppresses sound.

The only thing fairly certain is the fact that the newer section being built near Middleton would have difficulty accessing anything on the other side of the turnpike in Lake County via golf cart. The Enclave and Dabney areas will most certainly be isolated via golf cart for some time unless they want to travel up to the Bexley Bridge.
The Waterlilly bridge was built with the widening in mind. Not a problem.
