Still, if that is what the OP was referring to then, "some overflowing south of 466 especially south of 466A," was a poor description when those ponds are actually far south of the Turnpike in the areas still under construction.
Amazing how quickly they can fill the large lakes around Eastport/Middleton.

Google Maps show huge areas of surface water south off 470 so maybe they are pumping that out to prepare the land for construction?
