McGregor Boulevard Paving Project from Llewellyn Drive to Larchmont Avenue

The City of Fort Myers is excited to bring the McGregor Bricking Project to construction. This project is set to install paver bricks on a section of McGregor Boulevard fronting the historic Edison Ford Winter Estates. Over 18 months in the process, the project is now moving to the construction phase starting Monday, July 8th, 2024.

Tobler/OAK JV LLC will begin work on Monday, July 8th, 2024 to close a section of McGregor Boulevard, from Llewellyn Drive to Larchmont Avenue. The project involves milling the existing asphalt roadway of McGregor Blvd and replacing with brick pavers. Work is expected to occur Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., weather permitting. This project is expected to be completed within ten to twelve weeks, by Fall 2024.

Drivers and bicyclists will take detours around the construction area of McGregor Boulevard. The eastbound/northbound detour will redirect traffic off McGregor Boulevard at Linhart Avenue, continuing to Cortez Boulevard, Monte Vista Street, Marilyn Road/Euclid Avenue, Illinois Avenue and returning to McGregor Boulevard.

The westbound/southbound detour will redirect traffic from McGregor Boulevard at Virginia Avenue, continuing to Euclid Avenue/Marilyn Road, Monte Vista Street, Cortez Boulevard, Linhart Avenue and returning to McGregor Boulevard. Pedestrian sidewalks will not be affected by project construction activities.
This schedule may be subject to change due to inclement weather and unforeseen underground conditions. For more project information, contact Nicole Setzer, City Engineer-Public Works at 239-321-7459 or via email at [email protected].
