The Lee County Department of Transportation and Lee County Utilities ask motorists to be aware of a temporary overnight lane closure tonight due to emergency utility repairs on Pine Island Road at the west side of Matlacha.

One-lane traffic will begin at 8 p.m. today, Jan. 10, and conclude before 5 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 11, if not sooner.

Flaggers will direct traffic at the site. Work will be at the Little Pine Island Bridge, which sits west of the Matlacha Drawbridge.

A contractor for Lee County Utilities on Monday, Jan. 8, conducted an emergency repair of a utility force main by installing a temporary line across the Little Pine Island Bridge. Tonight’s work will complete the repair with a permanent line fix.
