Turnpike and 468 interchange
We drove down 468 towards the turnpike and saw where from 44 to past the turnpike, that 468 is being made 4 lanes. I was under the impression that the 301 interchange was going to be improved while the new 468 interchange was put on hold. Maybe not.
Does anyone know what is going on with the 468/turnpike interchange? |

In may or so it was announced that this project was on indefinite hold and the efforts were being re-directed to the Turnpike/US 301 interchange. Given that the original projected was being funded 100% by The Villages, one can only assume they had a change of heart - much like the long discussed but never delivered I-75 exit.

If you look at the Sumter Co property map of the area around where the interchange was going to be built, you'll see why it was "put on hold".
|
what wrong with the 301 access?
|
Not having a Sumter county property map handy, why exactly was it put on hold?
|
There is a new development of 964 acres just south of the turnpike, and just east of 301 in the permitting process now. Big jump in traffic for that area. It will be called Wildwood Springs, a non-age restricted community, governed by a recently formed CDD.

One of the over 100 corporate names held by the Morse Family has been getting site plans approved for over 2 Million square feet of mixed use development. This portion is located on the Northeast portion of the CR468 and Turnpike interchange. This extends from North of CR 501 North toward Morse Blvd and SR 44. It is on East Side of CR 468. |

If one looks toward the West when heading South on CR 468, (just before you cross over the Turnpike,) the "deep prep" excavation work has been completed for the OFF Ramp for those coming from Orlando. |

Phase 1 of CR 468 / Turnpike interchange is funded by The Villages. Phase 1 provides ON and OFF access to and from Orlando area. Phase 2 will be funded with tax dollars, Phase 2 was the only thing put on a "so called" indefinite hold. This only means Phase 2 will be delayed. The Turnpike / US 301 was fast tracked from 2035 to 2015. This does not affect the Phase 1 work at CR 468 and The Turnpike. __________________________________________________ ___________ As a Side Note.... .. completion of making Interstate 75 into six lanes from Wildwood to Miami has been made a priority. The I-75 portion "starting from Wildwood" toward Tampa is "Priority ONE" now. The crossroads of Florida will still be Wildwood FL. (Surprise, Surprise.) . |
