The City of Cape Coral is preparing for the Fourth of July festivities, but so should you.
The Cape Coral Bridge will be closing on Thursday starting at 3 a.m., and it will remain closed for 24 hours.
If you usually take this bridge on your daily route, you already know it will now be one less bridge to use since the Caloosahatchee Bridge is also closed for construction.
Your best option would probably be to take Midpoint Bridge, but even then, you should expect delays.
Make sure to give yourself extra time on Thursday.
Here is what else you need to know. Cape Coral Parkway from Del Prado Boulevard to the bridge will be closed.
If you try to turn east or west onto Cape Coral Parkway, you will be directed to make a U-turn and head north.
The bridge will reopen Friday as early as 3 a.m.
