Villages crossed Florida Turnpike
So while driving around the Fenny area this afternoon, we stumbled upon a group of people off 503. There families have been living in the Adamsville area for 3 generations.
There road has been reciently paved and we inquired about that. They informed us that Sumter County/&The Villages has bought up most of the county roads off 501 around Fenny and they need paved roads for the possible 18k per day traffic....? supposedly Sumter county has taken 2 homes in her neighborhood that back up to Fenny for roadways already under eminent domain laws .....wow They and there neighbors are selling all the town.....as a unit........$250k an acre....so cool......although she didn't feel the same way. They are loosing there neighbors and friends and she was not excited about that. I said......I still don't understand how the villages will get over the Fla Pike. She said they already have....a little south of the Okahumpka toll...The Villages built a bridge over the turnpike and they own all the property from Center Hill to 44. I wasn't sure she was correct... So when I got back home, I google mapped it, and she is absolutly correct. The bridge is there and seems an easy stretch from 505 to 468 or 44.....villages named it Southern Oaks....or so they said. So now I know why Fenny is there....it will become golf cart accessible to the town squares and the other golf someday. Very interesting.... |

Anything at all will do to support this rumor.. If it is so I will run naked through the square. And no one wants that! I bet what happened was that The developers bought the property from them at a good price.............

Sumter county/The Villages, took there homes...sale price?.... can't prove that until google maps shows at the end of 503 attached to Fenny homes torn down, which shouldn't take too long to update....but if you drive down the road, it is newly paved. The adamsville town acres/streets will go up for sale by the end of the week....all together...as one big acreage. As far as the Fla turnpike golf cart bridge...that can be seen today.....in person...or on google maps |

The bridge on 468 across the Florida turnpike is a golf cart bridge? What is the speed allowed for car traffic? If it's 45 MPH or higher then golf carts will not be allowed. I will try to take an aerial picture of the bridge from the Cub tomorrow.

Sure enough there is a bridge to nowhere south of the plaza...
Google Maps Not really sure that proves anything - or has anything to do with the Villages. It must have been there for a long time - Google earth is over 2 years old in this area- it still shows the entire village of Hillsborough as dirt...

My guess is that it was built to provide access for a farmer (Bailey?)...when the toll road cut through his/her land. I'm sure it could be used for a golf cart trail though and maybe the developer plans on doing just that...but The Villages didn't build it. Unless, The Developer was planning on expanding all the way back in...1964. Bailey Road Over Sr 91 | Bridge Inspections | Sumter County | theledger.com | The Ledger | Lakeland, FL Quote:

It will be a new interchange with the Florida Turnpike...and IT IS being paid for by The Developer. Last edited by ColdNoMore; 10-16-2016 at 08:06 PM. |

Now that Bailey bridge could be key to this. That's assuming they've bought up all that land. Wonder what shape that bridge is in? |

The link I provided is the inspection of the bridge made in 2013. While it isn't in perfect shape, it gets a 96.4 'Health Index' and I'm sure it would be fine for golf carts. Here's the link again.

Yeah, looks like a few issues. It needs standards upgrades. But would likely do the job. |
