A four-car crash on Caloosahatchee Bridge caused severe traffic back-ups for the Friday morning commute.

The crash was reported to the Florida Highway Patrol at around 7:50 a.m. on Friday.

At around 9:12 a.m., the roadway had reopened, and traffic was being navigated away from the crash.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene to help divert traffic southbound while Fort Myers police conducted their initial investigation.

Adding to the challenge of traffic, the Florida Department of Transportation began construction on the Caloosahatchee Bridge to create a pedestrian walkway on Monday.

The project has temporarily closed one traffic lane so crews can work safely on the expansion.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
