CAPE CORAL BRIDGE

The 'Cape Coral Bridge' is a bridge located in Southwest Florida. It spans the Caloosahatchee River connecting Fort Myers and Cape Coral. It is made up of two parallel fixed spans, each 3400 feet long.
The first span opened in 1964, with one lane in each direction. In 1989, a second span opened south of the first span, with two lanes for eastbound traffic, and westbound traffic used both lanes on the original span. The Cape Coral Bridge was the only link between Fort Myers and Cape Coral until 1997, when the Midpoint Memorial Bridge opened just north of the Cape Coral Bridge on the Caloosahatchee River.
The bridge is owned by the Lee County Department of Transportation. There is currently a one dollar toll in effect for vehicles traveling in both directions. Florida's statewide "Sunpass" prepaid electronic toll collection system is accepted on the Cape Coral Bridge, along with Lee County's "Leeway" prepaid toll system, which is also used on the Midpoint Bridge, and the Sanibel Causeway.
