Village of Estero Corkscrew Road Shared Use Path Project: This Village of Estero project constructs a 10-foot-wide asphalt pathway on the north side of Corkscrew Road from Ben Hill Griffin Parkway to Palermo Lake Court (eastern entrance of Grandezza), and 6-foot wide concrete sidewalk from east of Palermo Lake Court that connects to the sidewalk that runs to Midnight Blue Court (Wild Blue Vista) built by Lee County’s previous widening project.  The 10-foot-wide asphalt pathway will also be constructed on the south side of Corkscrew Road from Ben Hill Griffin Parkway to Bella Terra Boulevard.  Roadway and pathway lighting similar to those on Estero Parkway will be installed to complement the new facilities, along with a substantial amount of landscaping and irrigation which will add to the beautification of the Corkscrew Road corridor. 

Drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists are urged to use extra caution 
when traveling through the work zone. 

  •  Motorists should expect daytime lane closures from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (westbound) and 8 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. (eastbound) for crews to install irrigation in the median and continue lighting installation. 
  • On the south side of Corkscrew Road from Wildcat Run to the wildlife crossing crews are scheduled to continue installing drainage.
  • On the north side of Corkscrew Road from Wild Blue to the west crews are scheduled to construct sidewalk.
  • On the north side of Corkscrew Road between Palermo Lake Court and Wild Blue Boulevard crews are scheduled to continue earthwork in preparation for the concrete sidewalk.

 The work activities above are scheduled to occur, however unforeseen underground conditions and weather may affect this schedule. 

 Please use caution and watch for workers and construction vehicles entering and leaving the roadway. Estimated completion is Fall 2026. Project cost is approximately $23 million, including $4.6 million for landscaping and irrigation and $4 million for lighting.
