Megisson/Morse tunnel being inspected for sinkholes. It's so new, why the concern? Thinking there are structural problems observed and using ground penetrating radar is not normally needed unless they are looking for something very serious.
Golf cart travel to Sawgrass, and points south needs that tunnel. If that tunnel is closed long term, what alternatives are available?
Corbin Trail could be the link they will need. But it's blocked off for construction.

So what if developer has had some information (for many months) that points to a long term closure of that tunnel?
Recognizing the need for golf cart connectivity between everything being built south, to Brownwood, stores, gasoline, etc,... he shifted focus upon getting Wellpoint done asap so he can open Corbin and McNeil.

Thoughts?
Wonder if another bridge is in the works over the turnpike. Maybe Warm Springs Rd?

That's quite a take....something tells me you might have some sources

Some of the streets in Wellpoint as well as McNeill are now showing on the Villages map.

They don’t have to drop the bridge at Warm Springs? It already seems wide enough?

We will probably see the clover leaf design at 470? Traffic is really amping up at that interchange. It would only make sense to accommodate future use. Semi transportation utilizing the route has to be way up.

I was told over a year ago when I first started looking to buy by my realtor that after Dabney the next 2 villages would be Moultry Creek and Well Point. And that construction would meet in Eastport at the end. Nothing appears to be incorrect in what she said back then.

For sure. There's definitely a master plan...and it's expanding

It looks like this from the Turnpike.

Appears the sides will need 40+ feet on each side including the shoulders.

Or they could just reduce the median.

Does it look like enough room between the posts to you?

Sure, the piles could be an issue

Looks like the dots connected, and finally made it to a public press release.
Just announced closing of tunnel for soil repair. No mention of that nasty "S" word (yet).

I've made that trip from sawgrass to everglade a few times using that route, it's a nice drive.

Since they're redesigning an entire exit/entrance interchange, this is usually a good time to call up Buc-ee's to see if they'll put in another mega-store with exit lanes feeding right into their property, as has happened in other areas.

Not from this guy....Buc-ee’s would be a slam dunk. You want good, responsible commerce....that outfit is 1st class
