Ortiz Avenue Widening

This project consists of widening Ortiz Avenue from 2 lanes to 4 lanes and constructs a six-foot sidewalk on the east side of the road and a 10-foot paved trail on the west side of the road.  An on-road bike lane on both sides of the road will also be included. New street lighting will be installed, and a landscaped grass median will separate traffic.  No improvements will be made at the roundabout intersection with Hanson Street.  The contractor will reconstruct the roadway with drainage improvements and stormwater management facilities. Work also includes installation of new water main and installation of new reclaimed water and sewer facilities for Lee County and the City of Fort Myers.
