    Sarasota Bradenton International Airport contractors and employees worked to repair two sections of the main concourse roof that were damaged by Hurricane Milton in hopes of reopening the airport by Saturday afternoon.

    Repair work began Thursday after crews assessed damage from Hurricane Milton. The airport’s CEO and president, Rick Piccolo, said he hoped to have repairs completed by the end of the week so flights could resume Saturday afternoon.

    However, Piccolo said Friday morning that it could take longer.

    “Things aren’t looking good for tomorrow,” Piccolo told the Herald-Tribune around 10:30 a.m. Friday morning

    Piccolo said contractors met with Piccolo at SRQ Friday morning to determine next steps for repairs

    Bradenton: Regular waste disposal will resume from Monday.

    North harbor: Regular Thursday and Friday pickups will take place on Saturday (trash only, no recycling). The normal trash and recycling collection schedule will resume Monday.

    City of Sarasota: The missed Thursday pickup due to Hurricane Milton will take place on Friday, October 11th and the regular Friday pickup will take place on Saturday, October 12th. Please note: Recycling will not be picked up at the recycling center on these two days due to a power outage. Additionally, regular garden waste collections are now suspended indefinitely.
