Florida Department of Transportation District One is implementing pedestrian improvements to U.S. 41 over the Caloosahatchee River Bridge from First Street to North Key Drive. This project is intended to improve pedestrian safety by modifying the existing bridge to accommodate an 8-foot sidewalk on the west side of the southbound bridge. The sidewalk will connect to existing sidewalks north and south of the bridge structure to create safe access for pedestrians to cross. The bridge will be closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. starting April 7 through April 11. On April 8, as part of the Phase I construction plan, the bridge will be reduced to one lane in both northbound and southbound directions. Phase I construction activities are expected to be completed in December.
