Officials are hopeful they will have a solution for travel onto Pine Island after Ian wrecked the only thoroughfare onto the barrier island.

Lee County officials gave an update on storm recovery on Sunday.

“We have a short-term plan in place replacing Pine Island Road onto Pine Island,” said Lee County Commissioner Cecil Pendergrass.

The bridge would give access to Lee County Emergency Services and all of the contractors that will be needed to rebuild the land.
