New Toll Road. Impact?

[Russ_Boston]

Will this new toll road - http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/politics/orl-lid2508feb25,0,1871763.story

have an impact on TV at all. It looks to be southeast of TV servicing Apopka.

Just curious.

"To some, it might seem to be an odd place to put a new highway. But the county's first major east-west route in a decade is being built there for several reasons:

*To ease traffic by creating a southern bypass around Apopka."

Take a look at this Google map and you will see that this new road is nowhere near the Villages... it is 20 to 30 miles away serving as "a southern bypass around Apopka" in Orange County. This is the other side of Mt. Dora.

I see no real impact here except getting to the airport quicker.

If you are referring to 429, it shaves much time and frustration for people who had to travel up 27 from the southwest of Orlando area. We use it for our trips between our TV home and the old place. Happy to pay the tolls. Only problem we noted is that we had the road to ourselves for months, but traffic is increasing each trip now as more discover it.

Can't see it affecting TV directly in any way other than making it more convenient for those of us going in or coming from that direction to get here.
