Fort Myers downtown utility update

Main Street from Broadway to Hendry Street is closed for construction. Royal Palm Avenue, Lee Street, Jackson Street, Second Street, Bay Street, Edwards Drive and Monroe Street can all be used as through streets during this time to get around the downtown area. In addition, crews will be adding sand to the brick streets and working on manhole covers in the downtown area. Some of the work may require intermittent lane or road closures. This work will be performed throughout the downtown area for approximately three weeks. This schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather and unforeseen underground conditions, etc.

Royal Palm Avenue and Richmond Street are now open. New utilities have been installed along with Royal Palms, brick-accented sidewalks and street lighting reminiscent of early Fort Myers. Visit www.fmstreetscape.com for project information and maps.
