Got a message on Facebook that several tunnels will be closed for painting in January here in the Villages.

The multi-modal path tunnels located under Buena Vista Boulevard and El Camino Real are scheduled to be painted Jan. 4 through 17. These dates may be adjusted due to unforeseen circumstances, including weather. From another site. Google it.

They will be painted in the evening hours, after many of us are tucked in for the night. There should be minimal upheaval to our routine.

Good to know!

We will be there from 1/8 to 1/17. Hope it doesn’t stop our nighttime runs to Steak n Shake and Walmart.

Take the other tunnel under Buena Vista, next to the Savannah Center

And The Villages will take care to safely reroute golf cart traffic around them while the work is being done. No big deal.

It was there in November when I was there, will be sad if they have closed since.

Just check their website and it said they are still there.

Waste of money painting concrete. I rate this right up there with planting flowers that will freeze RIGHT before freeze.

It’s about time they get painted. The one that was done a few yrs ago still looks amazing. I do wonder why the Saddlebrook Tunnel was not mentioned in the list of those to be done.

Saddlebrook tunnel not that dark. Probably the lightest tunnel due to direction in relationship to sun. But, I sure it’s on the schedule.

Ironic that The tunnel that was painted a few yrs ago that I mentioned faces the same direction as Saddlebrook. I don’t believe my comment mentioned it being dark. Why would Saddlebrook be the only one not mentioned in the list was my question.

interesting mention of 'paint' - an inferior finish for concrete,,, hopefully you meant the verb & NOT the noun

Why wouldn't they paint these tunnels in the off months?

Maintenence work is done year round. Besides, work done in the summer leads to "Why do they inconvenience us full timers?" comments.
