The Lee Board of County Commissioners awarded a $2.1 million contract Tuesday to resurface segments of Burnt Store Road and Pine Island Road near Cape Coral and Matlacha.<\/p>\n
The segments are Burnt Store Road from Northwest 41st Terrace to Gator Slough Canal and Pine Island Road between the Matlacha Bridge and the Little Pine Island Bridge.<\/p>\n
The project is needed to protect the roadways from future damage and to ensure the evacuation routes function properly, county officials said.<\/p>\n
The low-bid contract awarded to with Ajax Paving Industries of Florida LLC includes removing deteriorated asphalt, stabilizing the road base and applying new asphalt designed to increase drainage efficiency. <\/p>\n
The work is expected to begin in spring and be completed within four months.<\/p>\n
The Pine Island Road portion of the project in Matlacha will complete Lee County DOT\u2019s efforts of late for Pine Island Road, with the road resurfaced essentially from the four-way stop on the main island to the east through Matlacha. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis complements the work FDOT has done on Pine Island Road in Matlacha as part of the Hurricane Ian repairs,\u201d officials said.<\/p>\n
The project is funded by Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. <\/p>\n
The project budget includes funding for construction inspection services. The contract for those services will be presented to the Lee Board of County Commissioners at an upcoming board meeting.<\/p>\n
