Cape Coral Bridge, Road bridge across Caloosahatchee River in Cape Coral, Florida
The Cape Coral Bridge consists of two parallel spans stretching 3,400 feet across the Caloosahatchee River, connecting Fort Myers with Cape Coral.
The bridge opened in March 1964 with a single span and two lanes, later expanding to four lanes with an additional parallel span in 1989.
This bridge represents the first transportation link between Fort Myers and Cape Coral, supporting the growth and development of both communities.
Motorists traveling westbound on the bridge pay a two-dollar toll, while eastbound traffic passes without charge, with electronic payment options available.
Plans for 2026 include replacing both spans with new three-lane structures that will incorporate dedicated bicycle lanes and enhanced pedestrian access.
