DANIELS PARKWAY REPAIRS-trxPKG

Take pkg

The traffic on Daniels pkwy eastbound sometimes crawls, but mostly is a parking lot.

Take sound

"it's a good thing we didn't have anything to do. No plane to catch, just trying to get back to Sarasota."

Crews trying to fix this overpass have a lot to do. There are several damaged beams under the i75 overpass. A Lehigh acres man was driving eastbound Tuesday afternoon when the arm of a backhoe that was sitting on a trailer struck the bridge several times-causing this damage--and ultimately this traffic.

Take sound

"it's bad."

While FDOT says the overpass is structurally sound, lanes need to be closed in the affected areas so crews can repair the damaged beams. And the estimated time--a few weeks.

Take sound

"december? Oh my god, I guess I'll have to leave earlier."

FDOT Spokesperson Debbie tower says drivers need to expect lane closures and shifts over the next month on both daniels parkway and i75 as work continues.

Take sound

Debbie Tower, FDOT spokesperson

"the nature of the work involving both structures kind if extends the timeline, we also have to order some beams, that takes a bit if time and just simply mobilizing and getting the work done, and we have to manage traffic."

Drivers also need to use caution, safety, and most importantly---patience.

Take sound.

WHAT IS A NOREASTER-ANIBOX

"A FEW CHILLY NIGHTS AHEAD"

You could definitely feel a change in the airmass today as highs peaked only into the lower to middle 70s, which kept us a good 10° below the norm for this time of year. For the remainder of our Wednesday afternoon we will see a few clouds mixing in with our sunshine, as a northwest wind continues to usher in some cooler air that's rushing in over the relatively warmer waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

That will more than likely keep a few patchy clouds in the forecast tonight with the possibility of a sprinkle or two. You'll also notice a more dramatic drop in our temperatures by morning as they settle into the middle 50s along the urban corridor with a few upper 40s deeper inland. Slightly milder conditions will be felt along our coastal and beach locations with temperatures in the upper 50s to 60°.

A few clouds are still possible in the morning forecast for Thursday, however with a northerly wind developing throughout the day, that will allow some even drier and cooler air to filter down the spine of the peninsula. This will clear any of the leftover clouds out allowing for bright sunshine to return to Southwest Florida. Despite our sunny skies during the afternoon, temperatures will only climb into the lower 70s with very comfortable humidity levels.

Thursday night looks to be the chilliest of the week or even this season. Temperatures will plummet into the upper 40s to low 50s along the urban corridor with a few middle 40s across our inland and northern communities.

It will be a spectacular finish to the work week as high pressure remains in control of our weather pattern with plentiful sunshine, low humidity, and temperatures in the upper 70s. By the weekend, our winds will take more of an easterly turn, which will bring a bit of low level moisture across the state. By Saturday and Sunday, expect a few more clouds dotting the sky with temperatures recovering back into the lower 80s.

Rick Ritter/20:59:05 or 21:00:22 "Marco's newly elected council members say the first change they'll make is pretty simple--transparency, which will take place right here in council chambers--something residents say has been missing for years."

TAMMY BRADFORD AND DEBRA FLINN REMEMBER THEIR DAD AS A FUN-LOVING GUY WHO WASN'T LOOKING FOR ANY CREDIT.

"he loved to fish a lot. That was his best thing. He always wanted to do that. He was a very simple-minded guy, laidback country boy." Debra Flinn, Willing's Daughter

WHEN WILLING DIED IN THE 90'S, STOUT AND THEIR DAUGHTERS HAD ALREADY MOVED TO FLORIDA.

ON A TRIP BACK TO ILLINOIS, STOUT WANTED TO VISIT HER LATE HUSBAND'S GRAVE, BUT COULDN'T FIND IT.

"there was nothing and it really hurt me" Ann Stout, Willing's Husband

THAT SPARKED HER AND THE GIRLS TO LOOK INTO WILLING'S MILITARY PAST TO EARN HIM SOME RECOGNITION.

THEY DISCOVERED HE WAS INJURED IN ITALY WHILE SERVING IN THE ARMY. AFTER GETTING SURGERY IN EUROPE, HE WENT RIGHT BACK TO THE FIGHT.

"he chose to take a stand for the united states and fight for us." Tammy Bradford, Willing's Daughter

FOR WHATEVER REASON, WILLING NEVER GOT HIS PURPLE HEART AND OTHER MEDALS ONCE HE RETURNED HOME.
