Fourth of July event to close Cape Coral Bridge

The Lee County Department of Transportation reminds motorists the Cape Coral Bridge will be closed for the Red, White & Boom celebration from 3 a.m. Tuesday, July 4, through 3 a.m. Wednesday, July 5. Cape Coral Parkway from Del Prado Boulevard to the bridge will also be closed at that time.

Motorists are encouraged to use the Veteran’s Memorial Bridge or the U.S. 41 and Business 41 bridges. Lee DOT this week will place message boards for motorists; they will remain in place through the holiday and the closing. Motorists should plan for an alternate route.

The Freedom 5K race begins at 7 a.m. on Independence Day. The city celebration begins at 5 p.m. at the foot of the bridge on the Cape Coral Parkway side. Fireworks will follow the celebration at about 9:30 p.m.
