Cool Road / Bridge Construction on US 441 in Lady Lake

Has there been anything printed that explains WHY they do NOT appear to be removing the NB Bridge portion over CR25. Today I noticed they are tapering the side dirt and installing grass mats. Bridge DE-Construction seems to have stopped over CR25.

Needless to say all of the torn up roadwork in both directions seems to be non existent. Is this another five year boondoggle?

Anybody know any facts?

The people doing this are trying to finish up the big dig in Boston. Understand that will finish by the turn of the century and will jump right on this.

This is a Florida project, slow and slower.

Similar when calling for service at your house:
"We'll be there on the 14th in 3 months from today between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. maybe".

The signed "Burt Reynolds Cosmo Style Pose" photo was worth the membership fee!

They changed their mind and decided not to work on the road because of all the complaining on here.

Guess we will start going to the new Costco and avoid 441.
