Don is the man! Love his YouTube channel. This video was great. I am surprised it only took 10 minutes to move the bridge across Highway 44. I will see the bridge for myself next month when I visit...another thing to look forward to. :)

Thank you for posting this video. I liked seeing the map. It made it easier for me to picture where the Water Lily and Chitty Chatty bridges are located and where the Brownwood Bridge is in relation to the Water Lily Bridge.

For some reason this site isn't letting me upload pics and videos I took during Thursday night's bridge installation

Thanks for the photo. How long were you able to stop to take the pics and video?

Is there a map showing the exact locations of bridges and roads connecting Brownwood Paddock to Marsh Bend?

Attached is a map that appeared in the Aug. 23 Daily Sun. It shows the locations of all four bridges.

Did you notice that driving toward the bridge from Signature Rd that the Villages logo is not centered across the highway? Not even close.

No one apparently rendered it in place to see how it would look to the intended audience.

Quite possibly it's centered on the bridge itself? That would be the aesthetically pleasing way to do it.

Thanks. I now understand where the bridges will be.

I got down there around 8:55 p.m. walked down 44 from the cattle statues and was able to watch from about 30 feet standing on 44 until I left around 9:35

champion 6, Another thank you for posting this map!

Looks like it's going to be a good climb up to that bridge. It's really high and the "Villages" logo is huge!

The second Turnpike bridge will be built a few miles to the south near the Okahumpka Service Plaza. This pathway will connect both golf cart and vehicle traffic to future areas, including land recently acquired in Leesburg.

The southern Turnpike bridge will be constructed of traditional concrete to support both golf carts and vehicles.
