Helms Rd Extension Opens In LaBelle Tuesday

LABELLE, FL. -- Several years in construction, the Helms Road Extension opens officially Tuesday, June 30 in LaBelle.

The road extends Helms from State Road 29 south of the city of LaBelle and runs to State Road 80, a mile west of the Walmart store.

The road allows travelers to bypass downtown LaBelle when heading to or from S29 South or SR80 West.

The road extension adds two more traffic lights to LaBelle's current five. The two new lights will stop traffic at SR29 and SR80.

  1. It's only taken around 40 years for less than half of the original Helms Road Extension/Bypass to become a reality. Definitely a good thing I didn't hold my breath waiting for it to happen!
