HGTV Brings Home Town Takeover to Sebring

HGTV’s Ben and Erin Napier brought their Season 3 of Home Town Takeover to Sebring, located in the Heartland of Florida and District One. FDOT District One lent a hand too, making improvements to the downtown circle, where the show would feature a local business renovation and more.

Bold Move Delivers A Year Ahead of Schedule

In 2025, the Florida Department of Transportation, District One, celebrated the transformative upgrades to the Caloosahatchee River Bridge in Fort Myers, constructing a new sidewalk between North Fort Myers and Downtown Fort Myers. Tragically, two pedestrian fatalities in 2023 underscored the urgent need for these enhancements. This bold project was expedited through a strategic decision to close the bridge for 10 weeks, reducing the timeline by an impressive one year and three months.

Award-Winning and Making A Difference in Our Communities

Protecting our breathtaking coastal environment, FDOT District One strategically placed nearly 1,000 Wave Attenuation Devices (WADs) along the south Skyway Fishing Pier Access Road (Manatee County). WADs are engineered to dissipate wave energy to reduce, eliminate, and/or reverse coastal erosion, like during 2024's three hurricanes. They are also stable and durable habitats that allow marine life to grow on the structure and eventually develop into natural barrier reef systems. The project took approximately three months and cost approximately $6.3 million. FDOT District One received the Outstanding Project Award at the 2024 American Council of Engineering Companies of Florida (ACEC Florida).
