ROAD IMPROVEMENTS: $3.2 million facelift for Bell Blvd starts November

Major roads in Lehigh Acres see significant traffic such as Homestead Road, Sunshine Boulevard and Bell Boulevard.

The latter will receive a major face lift from State Road 82 all the way to Sunrise Boulevard.

Lehigh Acres resident Debbie Greer drives on Bell Boulevard every day.

Greer described the road as, “Pretty terrible. It’s floods real easy. Anytime it rains no matter what kind of rain we get…I mean it’s pretty busy.”

Lehigh Acres Community Correspondent Ella Rhoades told Greer the county spent close to $3.2 million on the project to revamp the road.

“People fly up and down that road all the all the time. It’s it’s just crazy,” Greer added.

The project includes roadway reconstruction, paving, drainage improvements, driveway replacement, signs and pavement markings.

“Well, I’m glad that they are. It’s something that needs to be done,” Greer said.
