Best Route to Get to I75 N from 466A?
 

What's the best/easiest way to get to I-75 North from 466-A?

Red,

Take Buena Vista down to where it dead ends into where Brownwood will be, that is 44. Turn right on 44 and g0 to 301. Left on 301 and it will take you right to I 75....I would say go north on I 75 until you get to my house in Cincinnati, but we are heading down there day after tomorrow.

I have a hug for you.

Gracie

I'll take the hug and thanks!

One option is 466A to 301N and pick up 75N just west of Ocala. I do not remember the exit number onto 75N but googlemaps will show it. The travel times must be very close, but I enjoy the views of the back roads.

One advantage of using 44W Gracie mentioned is that it does go right by Russell Stover :icon_hungry:

After I posted the first time, I looked up on googlemaps, here is the link. On the left of the screen it shows 3 suggested routes you can select and look at:

Why turn on 301, 44 will take you staight to 75.

WOW, it shows how closely I read posts sometimes, I thought Gracie's post was taking 44W to route 75N :ohdear:

Maybe a bit more coffee will help.....

If you turn left onto 301 from 44 you will reach the turnpike, not I-75.

If you want to access I-75 you should continue straight west on 44 through the 301 intersection. It's at least a couple miles down the road past Russell Stover.

Gracie is correct that the easiest way to reach 44 is on Buena Vista all the way down.

oooops. You are right Chacam. Sweetie drives us home and we had only taken that new way twice.

Does it seem like I am always saying, you are right Chacam?

Remember when I insisted that there are only THREE Bridgeports? You said there were five listed in the official villages site. Now there are going to be five very soon. You were right Chacam. You are right Chacam.

Why not just take 446A out to 301 and take a left on 301 and a right on 44 to I75N. That seems like the shortest way.

You can get dizzy taking Buena Vista from 446A to 44 with all of those roundabouts you have to go through!

It's six one way, half a dozen the other. As I said we had only done it twice returning to Ohio, once when it just opened at the end of the season and once when we returned in the middle of July.

It is still new enough that we like to drive through that area where there will be thousands of new homes....even with the roundabouts.

Red asked for directions from 466A..and that is the reason I replied like I did.

We find it easier to use 466A to get to the interstate because we live near the southernmost part of The Villages. (instead of taking Morse or Buena Vista north)

So I was telling you to go south to take I75 north. That is how we do it.

Redwitch has the shortest way and very minor construction. When we were going back and forth from Naples that is the way we took.

Take 466a to 301 south to 1st light an shortcut thru the hood, to 44 and 75.

You can also take 466A toward Wildwood and turn left on to Hwy 139 at the new Villages Library / County Services Center. It has been widened and re-paved all the way down to Hwy 44. I prefer this route rather than going down Buena Vista to Hwy 44.

As you can see, there are several ways to go. My TomTom (the British B-tch) always gets me there using Gracie's original directions (Taking 301 to the Turnpike then I75). It seems to be a little faster and avoids the construction on 44 between 301 and I75. Using Buena Vista to get to 44 avoids the construction on 466A by the new county building. By the way, the portion of the Turnpike between 301 and I75 is toll free.
