"44:57 the dreaded day has arrived."

Signs came down and a temporary bridge opened up-- turning a normally

quiet neighborhood into one of the busiest areas in GGE.

James robinson, golden gate estates resident "Not looking forward to

it, not 10 months of heavy traffic."

Angie meister, golden gate estates resident "45:10 huge semis coming

through here and were not used to that here, it's usually a nice, very quiet street and we barely get any cars down here ever."

Major traffic flow is being re-routed to a temporary bridge on 23rd st southwest-- as crews work on a $1.9 million dollar project to demolish and rebuild the worn-out white boulevard bridge.

Gordon lewis, resident

"31:03 it has to be done"

The narrow road and increased traffic is raising concerns about safety.

Nats: "48:06 toby away from the road."

Angie meister says her kids will spend more time indoors. The mother of three says cars and trucks are already speeding through -- putting her family in danger.

Angie: "45:50 I don't think it's gonna be as safe to play out here as much because they kick balls into the road and run across the street and there's just no way we can have them doing that right now with all this traffic 02."

Gaby:

"The county installed signs and speed bumps to make people slow down, deputies will also patrol the area for the next few days to make sure traffic runs smoothly."

Connie deane, collier county growth management division

"1:03 trying to work on whatever needs to be done out here to help with the traffic flow as well as with the safety issues 1:07"

Meister says she wants more speed bumps closer to the bridge-- and is considering putting up a fence around her property until the neighborhood gets back to normal.

JIM REIF FORECAST OPEN-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

TEMPERATURES SOARING BY MIDWEEK

It was a wet start to our first full week of 2013, but we're now trading the rain in for sunshine and much warmer temperatures.

How warm? We're talking mid 80s!

So let me show you how this will all transpire. We're seeing the skies clear tonight as the frontal boundary that brought us the gloomy weather begins to weaken. You can't rule out some very low clouds through the wee hours of Tuesday, but overall it'll be a clear night. Come sunrise we will definitely see areas of fog as temperatures drop to the lower 60s.

From there forward the sunshine pops out and it's here to stay.

Why? Simple, a big mountain of high pressure is moving over the East Coast. That's going to keep our weather sunny, dry, and very warm from Tuesday through the beginning of next week.

Morning lows will continue to be around 60 degrees, and daytime highs will soar to the mid 80s. Tuesday we will see a high of 83, Wednesday a high of 84, and then Thursday we get all the way up to 85 degrees. I wouldn't be surprised if some areas saw temperatures a little above 85 in the days to come.

If you want cold temperatures… You'll have to go north. There isn't a cool down expected for us until mid January.

For 20 years, The Miracle have called Hammond stadium home.

Nats

But as their home undergoes a $45 million dollar renovation beginning this spring--the county is swinging away at negotiations for the future. To prepare for construction, the county is expected to approve a one year extension with the minor league club instead of five years.

Take sound

Dave Harner, Lee county Parks and Recreation director "Since we do not know what the construction schedule is we decided to do a year, see what this construction schedule plays out to be, and then we develop an agreement at that point."

While its too early to tell how the Miracle's 70 home game schedule in 2014 will be impacted--the team's president is staying optimistic.

Take sound

Steve Gliner, President, Fort Myers Miracle "Our number one goal is to play here, this is where our fans are familiar with us playing and this is our home so of course the county understands that and they're doing everything they can to help us achieve that goal for 2014."

From the city of palms to JetBlue, The county knows it has plenty of options.

Take sound

Dave Harner

"We maintain all facilities, up to Terry Park."

Or Harner says it could just take some negotiating on the calendar.

Take sound

Dave

"If they only have to move a couple of weeks, it could be as simple as changing their schedule around."

The county is looking at the options *now--in case negotiations need to be made down the road *later to take care of the home team.
