— Motorists can expect a brief delay in traffic along Livingston Road in North Naples on Sunday as deputies escort motorcyclists participating in the annual March of Dimes' Bikers for Babies event into Lee County.

Beginning at 11 a.m. and continuing for about 30 minutes, Collier County Sheriff's deputies will shut down northbound Livingston Road traffic from Vanderbilt Beach Road to the county line as an expected 1,500 motorcyclists depart from North Collier Regional Park, 15000 Livingston Road, and make their way to Fort Myers. Deputies also suggest that motorists steer clear of Immokalee Road in the Livingston Road area.

Riders in the 12th annual charity event will head north on Livingston Road to Bonita Beach Road and then west on Bonita Beach Road to Estero Boulevard. They will continue to Fort Myers Beach on San Carlos Boulevard and ride into Fort Myers at McGregor Boulevard, ending at Harley-Davidson on Colonial Boulevard in Fort Myers.
