Last phase of Del Prado project to begin
The city of Cape Coral, the Florida Department of Transportation and the Lee County Department of Transportation will gather next week to kick off the last phase of the Del Prado Boulevard Roadway Improvement Project Phase 5B. The groundbreaking event will take place at the northeast corner of Del Prado Boulevard and S.R. 78/Pine Island Road at 11 a.m., Monday, Oct. 26,
As part of Cape Coral’s Five-Year Roadway Improvement Program, Del Prado Boulevard is being widened from four to six lanes, resurfaced and realigned at the S.R. 78/Pine Island Road intersection. In addition, improvements along this 2.3-mile stretch of Del Prado Boulevard will include the widening of two bridges, the building of three off-site bridges, street lighting, new traffic signals, curb, storm drainage, landscaping and 10-foot-wide, multi-use paths.
The total cost for the right-of-way acquisition, design and construction of both the roadway and bridges came to $42 million.
