Default Several tunnels will be closed in January 2021 for painting.
Got a message on Facebook that several tunnels will be closed for painting in January here in the Villages.

Quote:
The multi-modal path tunnels located under Buena Vista Boulevard and El Camino Real are scheduled to be painted Jan. 4 through 17. These dates may be adjusted due to unforeseen circumstances, including weather.
From another site. Google it.

They will be painted in the evening hours, after many of us are tucked in for the night. There should be minimal upheaval to our routine.

We will be there from 1/8 to 1/17. Hope it doesn’t stop our nighttime runs to Steak n Shake and Walmart.

And The Villages will take care to safely reroute golf cart traffic around them while the work is being done. No big deal.

It was there in November when I was there, will be sad if they have closed since.

Just check their website and it said they are still there.

Waste of money painting concrete. I rate this right up there with planting flowers that will freeze RIGHT before freeze.

It’s about time they get painted. The one that was done a few yrs ago still looks amazing. I do wonder why the Saddlebrook Tunnel was not mentioned in the list of those to be done.
