Golf cart bridge for 44 under construction.
 

For those of you who don't get down south that much, the following are pictures taken today of the building of the golf cart bridge to be placed across 44 in the near future. It looks similar to a rail road bridge and to be able to handle such a load as a train. :shocked:

That bridge could handle a full length of double stacked carts and never have a structural failure.

Good pics.

Thanks for the pics!

We noticed parts of the bridge last week, on the ground. Things are moving right along

Thanks for posting those nice photos!

Great photos. I was wondering how much had been done

Cool! The one going over the turnpike will be similar style and appearance but I assume even larger. 10 months away, give or take, for golf cart connectivity. They are working at it from both ends. A few weeks ago, the tunnels were opened that allows us "southerners" to cart under CR501 and 468/Warm Springs. As of this past week, we can now cart part of what will be the trail that leads to the turnpike bridge.

Thank You TPK for taking the time to update us on the progress on these bridges. I am encouraged to see the support members going across the top and sides of the structure. Looks like they are doing the correct thing again by enclosing the entire operation. It will end up being beautiful and very functional and safe.

Exciting to see progress being made with the Golf Cart bridges. Thanks for the update.

Pictures taken from the Cub today of the bridge build. There is of yet no indication from the air as to where the golf cart path will go south of 44.

Hopefully they made those new bridges wider than the Morse and the Spanish Springs bridges. :D Can't tell from photos.

Using the car parking bays alongside as a comparison, bridge would appear to be nearly two bays wide.

Thanks for the awesome pics. Great to see them and keeping us all up-to-date since we have not yet moved in permanently in DeSoto. Hoping to accomplish this soon do.

Thanks for the pics!

In the March 25th Daily Sun article on amenities states that the first bridge will be 232-foot long and 20-foot wide.

My Yamaha cart with mirrors sticking out measures 4 1/2 feet so that bridge will be plenty wide.

Aren't they multi-purpose? Cart, pedestrian, bicycle etc?

to all, I agree 20 ft wide is great, be I believe a 4 foot path will be left for bikes and walkers, if im right that leaves appox 16 feet, split x2 makes 8 feet per path...…………… plenty of room

and if im right the brownwood bridge, now built, and at the same size, will show painted lanes, 2 for carts and 1 you walkers and bikers:welcome::welcome::welcome:

The Multi Modal Paths south of CR466 are 16 ft wide, so the bridge should not be an impediment to travel.

Will Fenney be connected by Jan 2020?

pack food and a sleeping bag, that's a long drive from there to anywhere

That's the target. And TV is known for hitting target time lines or even being early.

As for the comment about packing a sleeping bag - I say just wait and see. The estimate that was given for the trip from Fenney area to Brownwood was that it would be about the same as Village of Osceola Hills to Brownwood. Given the projected trail path and the progress made on it so far, that estimate looks about right. Of course, it will depend on your actual starting point. For me, I timed it out at 8 minutes, by cart, to get from my driveway to the other side of the tunnel that is now open under 468 (where Everglades Rec Center is being built). Many people will be significantly closer than that and some a couple minutes further away.
