NORTH FORT MYERS \u2014 Lee County is closing the chapter on a major road improvement project, bringing wider lanes and enhanced safety features to a busy North Fort Myers corridor.<\/p>\n

“We care about getting people to work safely and quickly,” Lee County Commissioner Brian Hamman said.<\/p>\n

Watch Fox 4’s Allie Kaiser hear about the changes to Littleton Road: <\/p>\n

Hamman, who has been looking to address the road since being elected in 2014, said the improvements will benefit daily commuters traveling between northeast Cape Coral and their workplaces.<\/p>\n

“A lot of us who live in northeast Cape Coral have to get over the bridge to work every single day, and this creates a much more efficient commute for them,” Hamman said.<\/p>\n

The road improvements also aim to address longstanding safety concerns, particularly near Dr. Carrie D. Robinson Littleton Elementary School. In October 2023, Fox 4 reported on dangerous traffic conditions<\/a> during school pickup and drop-off times, where cars lined the road and some drivers were seen crossing lanes and driving against traffic.<\/p>\n

“Everyday I come down this road and I feel like it’s either a flight or fight mode. I’m nervous as to what turn I can or can’t make even in my own lane,” a parent said in 2023.<\/p>\n

The completed project features wider lanes and the newly added center turn lane.<\/p>\n
