Estero Bridge finding may aid in traffic flow  

During the pre-planning stages of re-constructing the County's main roadway on Fort Myers Beach, residents & visitors have long expected traffic mitigation to be part of the equation. Now, due to recent findings Matanzas Bridge can support three lanes, comes a possible solution to help traffic to Estero Island.
The concept would be to continue to have one permanent lane onto the Beach and off the Beach and also have what is technically called a reversible lane, an alternating center lane, on the bridge and for a portion of Estero Boulevard. The idea would focus on the ability to have two lanes of traffic going over the bridge, onto the Beach and onto two lanes on Estero Boulevard during high traffic times.If possible, Mandel would like to see the 'test run' before the 2014 season. "People have talked about traffic on the island for years," he said. "Maybe, we can stop people complaining about it."
