ROAD REVAMP: People in LaBelle eager for Wheeler Road overhaul
LABELLE, Fla. — When you’re driving, you try to avoid potholes and bumps so your car doesn’t get damaged, but, people in LaBelle say that’s been hard to do on Wheeler Road - it’s a dirt road just covered with them. In a meeting on Tuesday, Hendry County Commissioners are talking about paving it.
Bridge project in LaBelle stirs debate. Is a bypass bridge the answer?
LABELLE, Fla. — People who live in LaBelle got a chance to see some new ideas for the plan to replace the bridge over the Caloosahatchee into downtown. Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) wants to replace it and add another one next to it. With dedicated North and Southbound lanes, they say their goal is to increase access between Hendry and Glades counties. However, the people who live in the area, who call themselves ‘The Second Bridge Group’, had the meeting, to say they’re concerned this would add more traffic to already congested roads.
