The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District One is evaluating safety improvements along SR 80 through LaBelle, from north of Captain Hendry Drive to west of Forrey Drive. The project will focus on reducing fatal and serious-injury crashes while considering local access, travel patterns, and community needs.
Improving safety for everyone who drives, walks, bikes, or uses transit is the project's primary purpose.
SR 80 ranks first in Hendry County in three safety categories.
