Cape Coral Parkway lane closures scheduled for expansion project

Drivers should expect lane closures along Cape Coral Parkway this week as crews continue rewiring traffic signals and pedestrian poles as part of the Cape Coral Parkway 6-Lane Expansion Project. On Monday, Aug. 24, an overnight partial closure began at 9 p.m. at Cape Coral Parkway and Del Prado Boulevard. Northbound and southbound traffic on Del Prado will be detoured, while eastbound and westbound traffic on Cape Coral Parkway will remain open. On Tuesday, Aug. 25, an overnight partial closure will begin at 9 p.m. at Cape Coral Parkway and Vincennes Street. Northbound and southbound traffic on Vincennes will be detoured, while eastbound and westbound traffic on Cape Coral Parkway will remain open. On Thursday and Friday, Aug. 27–28, crews will return to single right-lane daytime closures to complete pedestrian pole rewiring at Del Prado and Vincennes, if needed. Contractors will adjust work based on traffic direction and time of day. Looking ahead to the week of Aug. 31, single right-lane daytime closures are planned throughout the week to rewire pedestrian poles at six remaining intersections: Chiquita Boulevard, Skyline Boulevard, Pelican Boulevard, Palm Tree Boulevard, Coronado Parkway, and Leonard Street.
