Moving to TV this month and wondering if anyone has any RUMINT (Rumor Intelligence) about FDOT adding on/off ramps at Warm Springs bridge over I-75?

Did you mean the bridge over the Florida turnpike?

It does eventually merge with I 75 further up the road.

Good luck with your move.

Yeah, I should have been more clear. Easy to assume that I wasn’t familiar with the roads. But, I did indeed mean the warm springs bridge that goes over I-75. Which is out past Fenney and further away from Everglades Rec Center and the turnpike. I might be taking a job in Tampa and I don’t see on the maps, how the turnpike accesses southbound I-75 from the turnpike.

At one time this was proposed. But as The Villages began acquiring land further south these plans were scrapped. The “old timers” can confirm this, but I think it was about 3 or 4 years ago when the plans for the exchange from the turnpike were cancelled.

From where I live in McClure I just go out to 501 (the prison road) at the end of it turn R on 470, follow it to US301 turn L at that light then turn R at the next light (little gas station there on L) you will end up being able to then get on I 75. I believe the exit # is 321 (for your return trip home from Tampa)

The turnpike does not have access to southbound I 75 at the end in wildwood. You could however take FL rte 44 West then get on I 75 southbound there. It all really depends on where you'll be living here and if you don't mind smaller 2 lane back roads.
