SR 739 from north of the Caloosahatchee River to SR 78 (Bayshore Road): Construction Project: This project is intended to improve safety, enhance traffic flow, and reduce crashes by constructing a continuous raised median, with bi-directional and full median openings. Proposed improvements also consist of milling and resurfacing of the roadway, two pedestrian hybrid beacons, upgrading the traffic signal at Pondella Road, ADA upgrades, lighting, signing and pavement markings, and drainage improvements.

• Beginning Monday morning, December 1, 2025, at approximately 8 a.m., the eastbound right-turn lanes on Pondella Road onto southbound S.R. 739 (North Tamiami Trail) will be closed. During this time, motorists are asked to use the posted detour.
  • When traveling eastbound on Pondella Road, motorists will turn right onto River Road, then left onto Cabana Avenue to access southbound S.R. 739 (North Tamiami Trail).
  • Pedestrians wanting to cross the road at the intersection should follow the posted detour signage.
  • This closure will allow crews to reconstruct and widen the southwest quadrant at the intersection and install new drainage structures.
  • This detour is estimated to last through December. All scheduling is subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

On Wednesday night, September 17, 2025, the left (inside) lanes on northbound and southbound SR 739 were reopened, and the right (outside) lanes were then closed. This traffic shift marks the beginning of Phase 2 of the project.

• During this time, pedestrians should follow the posted detour to access Pondella Road from Pine Island Road.
•  Please use caution in the area, as crews will be working on and near the roadway.

Please note that the construction schedule may change due to weather or other unexpected conditions.
