County Working On Flooding Solution For Somerset Drive

PORT LABELLE, FL. -- Hendry County is working closely with the Port LaBelle Community Development District (PLCDD) and City of LaBelle to expedite relief of flooding on Somerset Drive and many of the streets in southeastern Port LaBelle south of Cowboy Way.

The flooding is a result of recent heavy rains in the area and drainage culvert on Cowboy Way near Birchwood Pkwy that are too small to carry the amount of water draining northward toward the drainage canals, and ultimately going into the Caloosahatchee River.

Somerset Drive and other streets in the area should be avoided, if possible. If travel through the area is necessary, drivers are urged to use extra caution.

Residents with questions are asked to please call the Hendry County Engineering Department at (863) 675-5222.
