Lee DOT advises: Daniels Parkway Traffic shift, speed limit reduction
The Lee County Department of Transportation is advising motorists that beginning Oct. 1, Daniels Parkway lanes will be shifted to the outside of the roadway for construction of new inside travel lanes from Danport Boulevard to west of Powers Court/Apaloosa Lane.
The traffic shift will reduce lane widths, and the speed limit will be reduced to 35 mph. Bike lanes will be temporarily eliminated, and bicyclists will be detoured to the adjacent multi-use paths. This configuration will remain in place for about a year while the inside lanes are under construction.
This work is necessary as part of the Lee DOT project that will extend Three Oaks Parkway from Alico Road to Daniels Parkway and widen Daniels Parkway to eight lanes from Danport Boulevard to Powers Court/Apaloosa Lane. Construction is expected to be completed in Spring 2028. This is a Tier 1 project for the Lee Board of County Commissioners, which strategically prioritizes infrastructure as the county’s population grows.
