Heads up, Lee County, Cape Coral drivers: overnight lane closures are coming to Hancock Bridge Parkway. Crews will shut down eastbound lanes both Tuesday, February 17, and Wednesday, February 18, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night for drainage installation. On February 18, westbound lanes will also close during those same hours. Marked detours will guide you around the construction, so plan for delays and consider alternate routes.
This is part of a major drainage improvement project between Cultural Park Blvd and Santa Barbara Blvd. The work includes installing 6,000 feet of new storm drain pipe and adding ove 70 drainage structures. Once finished, stormwater collection will work better, helping to cut down on flooding in the streets and nearby neighborhoods. Contractors will also restore driveways and pavement where needed.
The project runs through November 2026, with lane closures and detours popping up as work moves along. If your property is directly affected, you’ll get advance notice from the contractor…
