What happened to the proposal? It went the way many other half-baked Villages sales pitches have gone. Originally it was sold to new Villagers as the "new" quick way to get onto I-75 without lengthy travels to either Wildwood or HY 484. Then lots of land was bought South of 466A, so a new half interchange with the Fla. Turnpike was proposed (and partially graded) on Warm Springs Ave (billed as easy on/off to Orlando, the airport, etc.). But then much more land was purchased and is being developed further South, so it died too. Now, at least, the existing one further South on the Turnpike is actually being rebuilt.

Perhaps, when building far enough South, the new proposed "super interchange" sales pitch will be a special one to the theme parks giving us Villagers and Middleton-ites a fast back door entrance to all such fun places as the Morse's deem appropriate.
