Credit: FASTaerial via Lee DOT A construction project to ease traffic flow on a busy North Fort Myers road is nearly done. The Lee County Department of Transportation said Friday that the new segment of Littleton Road between NE 24th Avenue and Corbett Road will open to traffic Monday, Sept. 28. Officials are asking drivers to be aware of the lane shifts, a new roundabout and new traffic lights. The intersection of Littleton Rd. and NE 24th Ave. will shift to the south at Kismet Pkwy. New stop signs will be installed on NE 24th Ave. Motorists traveling on NE 24th Ave. should be prepared to stop at the new intersection at Kismet Parkway and Littleton Road. Residences on Old Littleton Road will remain accessible from the new roadway. This new segment includes a roundabout at the Littleton and Corbett intersection. Motorists should know: · The roundabout will partially open during this shift with temporary signals located at the roundabout entrances on eastbound Littleton Road, westbound Littleton Road, and northbound Corbett Road to control when vehicles enter the roundabout. · The traffic signals allow one movement at a time, allowing crews to continue work in the area. · The signals will be removed as work progresses. · Motorists traveling westbound Littleton Road to southbound Corbett Road must continue west on Littleton Road through the roundabout and make a U-turn before NE 24th Avenue to return east to Corbett Road. Crews continue work on Kismet Parkway, building the eastbound to northbound turn lane. During the next few months, the contractor will be completing roadway tie-ins, underground utility work, light pole installation, pond construction and sod. The Littleton Road-Kismet Parkway realignment project is a joint venture between the Lee Board of County Commissioners and the City of Cape Coral. The estimated $2 million cost will be paid from impact fees and contributions from the City of Cape Coral. The construction project realigns Kismet Pkwy. and Littleton Rd. at NE 24th Ave.. The new intersection will be a four-lane divided roadway with streetlights at the intersection of NE 24th Ave. and at the roundabout. There will be a 4-foot on-road bike lane on each side of the road. A 6-foot concrete sidewalk will be located on the north side of the new road with an 8-foot sidewalk located to the south of the new road. The project is expected to be completed in mid-December. For more information about the project, visit www.littletonroadwidening.com. Editor’s note: This story has been updated to reflect a new date of Sept. 28. The segment was originally slated to open Sept. 24, but was delayed.
