WBBH NBC2 News reports, “The entire westbound span of the Cape Coral Bridge will be replaced in about 11 years. That overhaul will be an expensive project costing $88 million. At the rate you’re paying the $2 toll right now, the money could be saved and ready to pay for it in half that time. However, that’s not happening. . . .” The station adds, somewhat breathlessly, that “Lee County can and does use [the bridge toll revenue] to pay for debt on the Midpoint Bridge, Veteran’s Parkway, the Sanibel Causeway or county-wide transportation debt as a whole.”
