Drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists are urged to use extra caution when traveling through the work zone.
- Beginning on Monday, February 23, Wayside Lane will be closed to all traffic while crews reconstruct the road. The work will last approximately one week. Motorists should use the main entrance at Corkscrew Woods Parkway to enter and exit the Corkscrew Shores community during this time. During the closure, the School District of Lee County is relocating the existing bus stop at Corkscrew Road and Wayside Lane to the main entrance of the community.
- Crews will be installing drainage throughout the project area on Corkscrew Road and Alico Road. Motorists should expect trucks and equipment to be moving materials throughout the project.
- Motorists should drive with caution and expect intermittent daytime flagging as road crews are performing earthwork up to the shoulders of the road on Corkscrew Road and Alico Road, within the project limits. Please be aware that trucks may be entering and leaving the roadway.
- Crews will be installing utility conduits, light pole bases and light poles on the south side of Corkscrew Road from Wayside Lane to Alico Road.
- Sidewalks are closed in areas throughout the project as the contractor performs underground work.
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. Due to additional work required by Lee County Utilities, as well as delays in utility relocations by FPL and Lumen, the project completion is expected end of 2026. Project cost is approximately $27 M. The contractor is Bergeron Land Development, Inc.
