The mentioned intersection does have to have an interchange attached to allow entry and exit from the turnpike to 470 for all vehicles. A golf cart bridge would be nice, but I have my doubts because it would need to cover the entire expanse of new infrastructure. A golf cart bridge would have to go over more than a 1/4 mile of roadway and be high enough to clear the ramps that semi trucks and larger vehicles use daily to access 470. There is already the viable option of the golf cart bridge up at Bexley.

The enormous cost of the hypothetical golf cart bridge would be absorbed by who? What would be reason for its justification? Would Leesburg, Mount Dora and Clermont want to fund it through county taxes?

A new golf cart bridge wouldn’t need to just jump the current expanse, it would need to incorporate an additional 4 more lane widths in distance, the ramps for the turnpike and the new easement restrictions. That’s one very long golf cart bridge.

I’m sure everyone would like a golf cart bridge there including myself, but it will take an awful lot of magic fairy dust to get that wish.
