The Florida Department of Transportation today is reporting no closures on state highways. However, debris from Hurricane Charley still remains on the right of way on state roads and I-75.

All rest area and weigh stations are cleared of debris but are not operational due to lack of electricity.

Debris is still being removed from roads in Desoto, Lee, Charlotte, Sarasota and Hardee counties in Southwest Florida. Emergency crews are repairing sign and signal damages.
