The road widening and bridge removal is down after Sam’s

According to the news article I read, The bridge being eliminated is the one over 25, down by Miller's Ale House.

"Strong rumor". I guess that is a rumor that should be believed, as opposed to a weak rumor which should not be believed (but is believed anyway).

Actually it's Spruce Creek South not Stonecrest.

Because they do not know how to spell historical

I read that the project will be from Avenida Central/Griffin Road heading south.

NO...it's not the Golf Cart Bridge that will be taken down....it's the bridge just south of Lady Lake City Hall !

I am hearing a strong rumor that the iconic Golf Cart Bridge is going to be no longer when the 441/27 Road widening is completed. I do not know at this point how you will arrive and depart to the HIstorical side at this time though.

In all my life I have never seen so many people passing rumors without any facts. Just want to be the first one on the keyboard.

And maybe it'll be JUST a little less steep. Just a tiny bit less.

And maybe it'll curve more gradually when it gets close to "the tree" (or hey maybe it could just go around that tree to the south).

If the bridge has to be longer to accommodate the new width of the road beneath it, all the above can be possible!

I have to wonder how many people have scraped their tires raw on that bridge.

It's a scary thing! I've gotten really good at it though. No scrape since December!

Pedestrians should not be allowed on that bridge. It is very dangerous as the curvature of the bridge makes it impossible to see anything on the opposite side of the apex. It is much better for walkers to use the crosswalks. TV should run a spur off the paradise park walking path to the main street crosswalk for bikers and walkers and make the "iconic" bridge GC only.

and,,,, what I an iconic bridge?

And maybe it won't be so darn fakey-ugly. The new ones are so much classier.

Is there a prize for being in first place?

Less than those going over the Morse (LSL) Bridge. :D
