Who can travel to Pine Island on FDOT-improved road and bridges
Lee County would like to remind the public that access to the Matlacha-Pine Island area is restricted and checkpoints are being manned by law enforcement.
The following will be let through:
• Residents. Bring a driver’s license, utility bill, lease or other proof of residency.
• First responders and Emergency Management personnel.
• Utility providers, tele-communications companies and garbage/debris haulers.
• Supply vendors – such as water, fuel, groceries – who have an Emergency Operations Center-issued mission number.
• Those who are contractors for individual property owners and those who are with insurance companies, etc., will need to show documentation that states the address with which they are affiliated.
The roadway and temporary bridges installed by the Florida Department of Transportation opened Wednesday afternoon.
