Florida Department of Transportation will begin a $13 million road improvement project next week along San Carlos Boulevard from north of Crescent Street to north of Hurricane Pass Bridge in Fort Myers Beach. Improvements include modifying the Matanzas Pass Bridge to accommodate a shared-use path, converting the existing southbound bus/bicycle-only lane to a general-use travel lane and converting the existing southbound right-turn-only lane approaching Main Street to a general-use travel lane that will continue across the Matanzas Pass Bridge. Additionally, San Carlos Boulevard from Main Street to Hurricane Pass Bridge will be restriped to accommodate bicycle lanes in each direction of travel. Signalization upgrades will be made with a new traffic signal constructed at Main Street, and the alternating signal at Prescott Street/Buttonwood Drive will be adjusted to operate as a conventional signal. During construction, expected to be completed in early 2026, motorists should expect intermittent nighttime/overnight lane closures on weekdays.
