Fort Myers skybridge reopened
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office has reopened the Matanzas Pass Bridge. Deputies temporarily closed the skybridge on orders from the U.S. Coast Guard when it was reported that a shrimp boat had collided with the bridge late this afternoon.
According to sheriff’s deputies, the Coast Guard made a visual inspection of the bridge and decided it could safely be reopened.
State Department of Transportation officials will conduct a safety inspection of the bridge later this evening.
