Lane Closures – Morse Boulevard Bridge


To ensure safe working conditions on the Morse Boulevard Bridge at Lake Sumter, traffic lanes are currently reduced from four to two lanes. We anticipate this work to continue over the next couple of days. Please use caution when navigating this area and follow all directional signage. Please stay tuned to Village Community Development Districts for additional updates.

I read in the Tampa Sentinel about the new catfish and bullfrog farm that is being built in Lake Sumter here in The Villages. The construction work by the Morse Bridge is the beginning of the dredging and the pen areas. The restaurants in The Villages have formed a consortium (with the Morse family being in charge) to have a huge catfish and bullfrog farm so there will be freshly caught catfish and frog legs year round.

I can hardly wait!

Gracie I too was wondering what was going on. Each day the pile of dirt gets higher and higher. It's on one of the Palmer courses next to the Bonnybrook gate and Belvedere Blvd. Enormous excavation and lots of equipment. Also, there have been divers in the pond next to it. Could it be a sinkhole?

The pile of dirt by the palmer course is from a water main break. It is a huge pipe. Have a temporary green because of it.

I am unsure of the location of the sand pile. If is white sand, it will probably be used in the bunkers of the Tierra Del Sol golf course that is being upgraded. We have several piles in our neighborhood that are already being added to the existing TDS bunkers.

It seems to be a major construction project. I too, am wondering what it is.

The sandpile I am wondering about is right next to the Morse bridge over Lake Sumter. The traffic is down to two lanes.

I know that we can only pass rumors between ourselves and then someone will rant that the Sun never has the news. But hey...it's too hot and rainy for ME to play golf.

So what do y'all think?

New Sun Rail site!
