Lee Commissioners award contract to widen Littleton Road in North Fort Myers
The Lee Board of County Commissioners voted Tuesday to award a construction contract to widen Littleton Road from Corbett Road east to U.S. 41 in North Fort Myers.
The project is part of an ongoing effort to improve a key commuter route between Cape Coral, North Fort Myers and Fort Myers. In 2021, a joint effort between Lee County and the city of Cape Coral was completed that realigned Littleton Road and Kismet Parkway with a roundabout at Corbett Road. This project will further improve the route with turn lanes to keep traffic flowing along Littleton Road.
This effort will widen the existing two-lane undivided Littleton Road to a three-lane undivided roadway. The project includes widening an existing bridge crossing, drainage improvements, two on-road bike lanes, 6- to 8-foot sidewalks on both sides and utility relocations and improvements.
The contract for the $20.4 million project was award to Fort Myers-based Wright Construction Group. Construction is expected to begin after January 2024.
