Expert calls for more 'resiliency' when it comes to bridges

Days after Hurricane Ian cut off Lee County’s barrier islands from the mainland, vehicles are once again driving across the connecting bridges. A temporary bridge to Pine Island was opened last week. On Tuesday, a convoy of more than 350 trucks carrying workers and supplies crossed the newly repaired Sanibel Causeway for the first time. Governor Ron DeSantis has said civilians and residents will have access to the causeway by October 21st.
