CAPE CORAL, FL (February 7, 2008) - Lee County DOT is widening the eastbound off-ramp on Veterans Parkway at Del Prado Boulevard.   The ramp must be closed to traffic from 10:00 p.m. Wednesday, February 13, 2008 to 5:00 a.m. Thursday, February 14th, to allow the existing barrier wall along the off-ramp to be removed.

A detour route (Archer to Shelby) will be posted to direct motorists from Country Club Boulevard to Del Prado Boulevard.  Motorists are encouraged to avoid this section of roadway and use alternate routes if possible.
