I-75 to close tonight between Corkscrew and Alico roads
Interstate 75 from Corkscrew Road to Alico Road will close beginning at 9:30 p.m. Thursday night, April 2, to 5 a.m. Friday morning, April 3, while crews continue beam installation on Lee County’s Estero Parkway Extension Project.
The 10th of 12 smaller steel beams is expected to ship tonight and arrive at the project site late tonight. The delivery of the beam will be by slow-moving, wide-load truck escorted by law enforcement, and will be entering Lee County via I-75.
Motorists should drive with extreme caution approaching the truck and its escort.
During the closure for beam installation, northbound interstate traffic will be diverted onto Corkscrew Road and up Ben Hill Griffin Parkway, and southbound interstate traffic will be diverted onto Alico Road and down Three Oaks Parkway.
Information about the interstate closures will also be posted on the electronic message signs in the work area. Information about future beam deliveries and installations will be released as it becomes known.
