Cape Coral leaders consider $6.1 million Road Resurfacing Project

CAPE CORAL, Fla. —

Cape Coral drivers could soon experience smoother rides as city leaders prepare to vote on a multimillion-dollar road resurfacing project.

City council members are scheduled to meet at 4 p.m. Wednesday to discuss and potentially approve a contract to move the project forward.

The proposal, part of the city's 2026 Local Road Resurfacing Project, includes improvements along several busy corridors, including Cape Coral Parkway West at Agualinda Boulevard.

The project includes 72 lane miles targeted for repairs. Some areas that need improvement include portions along Oasis Boulevard, Mohawk Parkway, El Dorado Parkway West and Cape Coral Parkway West.

Work includes milling and resurfacing existing pavement, utility adjustments and road restriping.

City officials say the improvements are designed to extend the lifespan of the roadways and improve overall driving conditions.

The total cost of the project is $6,167,227.61.

The proposed contract with Pavement Maintenance, LLC totals $5,873,550.10 with an additional $293,677.51 set aside as a contingency fund to address any unforeseen expenses during construction.

If the contract is approved, the city will announce further details, including construction timelines.
