Camera feeds now live for Little Pine Island Bridge
Lee County Government recently announced that two live camera feeds are available for residents, visitors and business owners to remotely view the traffic flow around the Little Pine Island Bridge.
The county has worked out technological capabilities to be able to bring this viewable live feed via its website, www.leegov.com/dot/traffic. This is the same landing page from which islanders have been able to view the live camera feed pilot project of the Matlacha Drawbridge.
The new live feeds at the Little Pine Island Bridge – on the west side of Matlacha – are temporary and are set up to complement the Florida Department of Transportation’s project that is reconstructing the Little Pine Island Bridge, which was severely damaged by Hurricane Ian.
Bridge traffic is currently restricted to one lane with temporary signalized traffic control for Phase One of FDOT’s project. The new Little Pine Island Bridge traffic cameras will remain at the site while FDOT’s contractor is maintaining one-lane traffic on the bridge to enable motorists to be more informed about potential travel time through Matlacha.
About the FDOT Little Pine Island Bridge project: More information about the project can be found at the state’s dedicated landing page.
About the Matlacha Drawbridge cameras: Launched last year, the Matlacha Bridge live traffic cameras are a pilot program to evaluate the effectiveness, helpfulness and usefulness of implementing this type of technology in select areas of the county. The westbound and eastbound cameras provide a real time view of travel conditions on the Pine Island Road corridor.
