West Orange Times & Observer News What was once an old rusty railroad bridge became an iconic piece of the West Orange Trail in 1994 for users who ventured through the west side of Oakland and crossed over the Florida's Turnpike. The piece of West Orange County history now is, itself, history after being replaced because of roadwork taking place below the bridge. The Florida Department of Transportation began a road-widening project last year that included 6.2 miles of roads and adjoining bridges along the turnpike.
