Corkscrew Road widening Phase 2 update from Lee County Government on September 7, 2026
During the nighttime/overnight hours of 7 p.m. on Sunday, September 13 to 5 a.m. on Monday, September 14, crews will be installing new mast arms for the traffic signal at the Corkscrew Road and Alico Road intersection. Traffic will continue flowing through the intersection in one direction at a time, with some full stoppages when the mast arms are lifted over the travel lanes. Flaggers and police will be onsite to assist motorists.
Crews will be grading the road base on the north side of Corkscrew Road, close to the existing road. Please follow all signage and directions of flaggers.
Crews will be working on or near the sidewalk on the south side of Corkscrew Road to complete street lighting work and other items. Cones will be set up as necessary to redirect pedestrians.
Crews will be installing curb on the north side of Corkscrew Road.
Crews will be installing drainage throughout the project area on Corkscrew Road and Alico Road. Motorists should expect trucks and equipment to be moving materials throughout the project.
Motorists should drive with caution and expect intermittent daytime flagging as road crews are performing earthwork up to the shoulders of the road on Corkscrew Road and Alico Road, within the project limits.
Please be aware that trucks may be entering and leaving the roadway.
Crews will be installing utility conduits, light pole bases and light poles on the north side of Corkscrew Road from Wayside Lane to Alico Road.
The work activities above are scheduled to occur, however unforeseen underground conditions and weather may affect this schedule.
Please use caution and watch for workers and construction vehicles entering and leaving the roadway. Due to additional work required by Lee County Utilities, as well as delays in utility relocations by FPL and Lumen, the project completion is expected end of 2026. Project cost is approximately $27 M. The contractor is Bergeron Land Development, Inc.
