Cape Coral Bridge, Road bridge across Caloosahatchee River in Cape Coral, Florida

Cape Coral Bridge is a road bridge consisting of two parallel spans crossing the Caloosahatchee River to connect Fort Myers and Cape Coral. The structure carries traffic on four lanes total and serves as the main crossing point between the two communities.

The bridge opened in 1964 with a single span and two lanes, establishing the first direct road link between Fort Myers and Cape Coral. A second parallel span was added in 1989 to accommodate increasing traffic demands.

Until the Midpoint Memorial Bridge opened just north in 1997, this was the only road crossing between Fort Myers and Cape Coral. The two-dollar westbound toll is collected through Florida's SunPass and Lee County's Leeway prepaid systems, with variable pricing in effect.

Drivers heading westbound should prepare to pay a toll, while eastbound traffic crosses without charge. Electronic payment systems make the toll process quick and straightforward.

Until the Midpoint Memorial Bridge opened just north of it in 1997, this was the only road link between Fort Myers and Cape Coral. The 1964 span carried one lane in each direction; since 1989 westbound traffic has used both of its lanes while the newer parallel span handles eastbound traffic.
