Here's a quick video showing the first sections of the Southern Oaks bridge crossing the Florida Turnpike that has just been installed.

Thank you for taking the time for doing the night video! I am sure the power lines and the dark sky were a real challenge for you.

Once the bridge is done, I will still call it The Cattle Bridge! I have a few more questions, but I am sure your next few videos will answer my thoughts.

Truly, thank you for all you do!

Thank for your video! Just one question/observation. Is there sufficient area to add two lanes if/when the Turnpike is expanded to 3 lanes in each direction?

In his previous videos, he shows and states that was taken into account. So, yes, there is plenty of room...

Absolutely, yes, there is plenty of room for 2 additional lanes on the Turnpike.

It will be built some day but than the people with homes near the turnpike will complain about the noise even more.
