The newly constructed roundabout at Buckingham and Gunnery roads is expected open to traffic later this week.

Work now begins April 6 from Jobe Road / Kings Crossing to Daniels Parkway for utility and roadway reconstruction.

An in-person meeting tonight and a virtual meeting March 24 are planned by the Florida Department of Transportation, District One, to air detail on two State Road 29 design projects. The projects are part of a broader FDOT initiative to improve the S.R. 29 Immokalee corridor, which has been underway since 2007.

All lanes reopened on Interstate 75 after emergency crews and others cleaned up after a truck hit an overhead sign near Proctor Road in Sarasota County Monday morning. After striking the sign, the truck continued forward and struck a bridge, where it wedged beneath the structure.

The Wilson Pigott Bridge will close temporarily in mid-April to allow crews to install a new bridge deck as part of the ongoing replacement project.

The three communities financing the 11.4-mile Bonita Estero Rail Trail will need to decide by the end of March how they will pay for it.

LeeTran is expanding its ULTRA Mobility-on-Demand service area in Lehigh Acres, increasing access to key community destinations and providing more residents with convenient, flexible public transportation options.

Motorists who use the Wilson Pigott Bridge over the Caloosahatchee River (Route 31) should prepare for a temporary full closure beginning March 19, weather permitting and contingent upon timely delivery of construction materials.

The federal Transportation Department says more than 550 commercial driving schools in the U.S. that train truckers and bus drivers must close after investigators found they employed unqualified instructors, failed to adequately test students and other safety issues. The department plans to announce this latest move to improve safety in the trucking industry later Wednesday. And unlike the previous action last fall to decertify up to 7,500 schools that included many defunct operations, this is focused on active schools with significant shortcomings. The department has been aggressively going after states that handed out commercial driver's licenses to immigrants who shouldn't have qualified for them ever since a fatal crash in Florida in August.

The southbound lane of a busy Lee County drawbridge on State Road 31 will be shut down Monday, Feb. 16, starting at 7 p.m.
