📢 Caloosahatchee Bridge Construction Project: Traffic Headaches and Community Concerns
In this video, we dive into the controversial construction project on the Caloosahatchee Bridge and the frustration it's causing among residents. With the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) considering whether to endure two years of partial lane closures or opt for a full bridge shutdown for 10 weeks, the community is divided.
🚧 Key Points Discussed:
The dilemma: Two years of partial closures or a 10-week complete shutdown.
The $25 million investment aimed at adding bike lanes and pedestrian paths, benefiting approximately 200 to 300 daily users.
Resident reactions: Is a 10-week closure the lesser of two evils?
Join the conversation and share your thoughts! Is the inconvenience worth the investment?
Why was there no announcement for public input?
Should FDOT prioritize a swift, complete closure over prolonged disruptions? Let us know in the comments below! 👇
