    LaBelle drawbridge weight limits remain as FDOT's US 27 work continues in Clewiston

    Trucks over the posted weight limits on the State Road 29 drawbridge over the Caloosahatchee River in LaBelle still have to detour by way of State Road 78, US 27 and State Road 80; the base limit is 26 tons for single-unit trucks. In Clewiston, FDOT's US 27 improvement project from Industrial Canal to West Sagamore Avenue continues with sidewalk, lighting and utility work, bringing daytime and some nighttime lane closures. The state expects the project to wrap up in mid-2027.
