We understand there have been concerns regarding the recent removal of foundations along Estero Boulevard. We want to assure you that this work is necessary to ensure the highest standards of safety and quality.
During routine inspections, the project engineer identified structural inconsistencies in the first 30 foundations installed. These foundations did not meet the required specifications and did not pass inspection. To ensure long-term safety and compliance, we made the decision to remove and replace them.
The new foundations will adhere to all structural requirements and standards set forth by the Lee County Department of Transportation. This will provide improved durability and safety for the community.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to deliver a safe, high-quality project for Fort Myers Beach.
