Corkscrew Road lane closures at Alico Road are scheduled for 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. during intersection reconstruction from Friday, October 23, through Monday, October 26, according to Lee County's October 16 update published by the Village of Estero.
The county also lists lane reductions on northbound and southbound Alico Road for the entire work period. Flaggers and law enforcement will direct traffic. The update encourages alternate routes and warns that weather or unforeseen underground conditions may change the schedule.
Daytime paving is also planned between the main Corkscrew Shores entrance and Alico Road. Trucks will enter and leave the roadway, and sidewalk work on the south side may require pedestrian diversions.
The latest update estimates late spring 2027 completion for the approximately $27m Phase 2 project. It cites additional Lee County Utilities work and delays in FPL and Lumen utility relocations.
Our Corkscrew Road Phase 2 project page records the scope and dated updates. More Estero coverage includes the separate I-75 widening hearing.
