Section 1 - Cape Coral Parkway / Del Prado Blvd. Intersection
This is the beginning of the project which is the intersection of Cape Coral Parkway and Del Prado Blvd. Major improvements include the addition of extra eastbound and westbound lanes and a barrier separating the new 6-lane section. Improvements are made to the intersection of Cape Coral Parkway and Del Prado Blvd. and multi-modal accommodations are made throughout the corridor.
Section 2 - Bernice Braden Park
This section of the project includes the section of roadway adjacent to the Bernice Braden Park just prior to the approaches to the bridges on the Cape Coral side of the Caloosahatchee River. This is the only portion of the project that will require right-of-way, which will come from Bernice Braden Park. All efforts were made to avoid impacts to the Visitor Center.
Section 3 - Bridges across the Caloosahatchee River
This segment of the project includes the two new bridges that replace the aging structures going across the Caloosahatchee River. Major improvements include an additional travel lane in each direction and separate pedestrian/bicyclist facilities to enhance safety.
Section 4 - College Parkway / Toll Plaza
This section of the project includes the segment of the roadway that runs adjacent to Magnolia Pointe Ct., Caloosa Yacht & Racquet Club Dr., and The Landings Golf Course. Major improvements include the addition of extra eastbound and westbound lanes, converting the two-lane frontage roads into two-lane one-way frontage roads and providing a two-lane westbound on-ramp onto College Parkway.
Section 5 - College Parkway / McGregor Blvd. Intersection
This is the end of the project, which is the intersection of Cape Coral Parkway and McGregor Blvd. Major improvements include converting the exclusive eastbound right-turn lane to a free-flow lane with the addition of a receiving acceleration lane along southbound McGregor Blvd south of College Parkway. The inside eastbound lane is converted from a shared left-turn through right-turn lane to a shared left-turn and through lane.

Lee County is home to diverse habitats and a wide range of protected species. Discover the unique ecosystems and wildlife that may be found within the Cape Coral Bridge project area.
Decorative Lighting
This signature Bridge will be supplemented with aesthetic lighting in addition to roadway lighting that will create a breathtaking visual aesthetic. In addition to the aesthetic value, the illumination of the piers and profile will make the bridge more visible and safer for boaters. The aesthetic lighting will be color changing in order to represent several events and themes throughout the year. The aesthetic lighting is broken out into 4 categories:
> Pier Lighting
> Walkway Lighting
> Pedestrian Bridge Lighting
> City of Cape Coral Aesthetic Roadway Lighting
