About Fort Myers

Fort Myers, Florida is a city located in the southwestern part of the state and is known for its beaches, warm weather, and vibrant nightlife. The main highways in Fort Myers include I-75, which runs north-south through the city and connects it to other cities such as Tampa, Naples, and Miami, and U.S. Highway 41, which runs east-west through the city and connects it to other cities such as Naples, Punta Gorda, and Sarasota.

During peak hours, traffic on these highways can become congested, especially I-75, which serves as a major north-south highway and is the main route for travelers to and from Florida's west coast and other cities in southern Florida. To manage the flow of traffic and reduce congestion, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) closely monitors the highways and implements measures to alleviate traffic congestion, such as adjusting traffic signals, adding extra lanes, and providing alternative routes.

In addition, the FDOT works closely with local authorities to coordinate road construction and maintenance projects, ensuring minimal disruption to the flow of traffic. To help reduce traffic congestion, Fort Myers also has a robust public transportation system, including bus and shuttle services, providing residents and visitors with efficient and convenient transportation options.
