Asst dir of operations, Sumter County, mr. Jackson, said today that he discussed this with the county administrator, Mr. Arnold, and based on the official review which happens every two years for bridges, there is no problem with the safety or structure of the bridge.

The county would fix any problem if there were one to the bridge and the land underneath it. Outside of the county right-of-way, the problem would belong to the villages. Mr. Arnold has recently been in touch with agents, for want of a better word, in the villages regarding the rumor that the bridge has problems or might be unsafe.

Yes, the shoreline that is eroding is adjacent to the Morse Blvd bridge at CR466 leading into Lake Sumter Landing. There is no problem with the bridge, which the county maintains. The problem is with the land adjacent to the bridge, which is owned by the District.

For more info, google Morse Blvd, shoreline eroding on land under bridge.
