Three Oaks Parkway

(May 2006 EDR) In order for the residents of Southwest Florida to have a third north-south arterial corridor extending from Naples to Ft Myers three projects need to be completed. They are (from south to north):

• The segment of Imperial Street from Bonita Beach Road to East Terry Street,
• The segment of Three Oaks Parkway from East Terry Street to just south of Coconut Road in The Brooks, and
• The segment of Three Oaks Parkway from Corkscrew Road to Alico Road.

Imperial from Bonita Beach to East Terry Street

This segment involves construction of a new four lane road that crosses over the Imperial River. It was recently bid with the winning bids being about $6 million over budget. The City of Bonita Springs recently voted to provide the additional funding. The County is now in the process of finalizing the contract with Posen Construction, the Michigan firm that won the contract. Once that step is completed, construction of the roadway can begin. Completion is expected in late 2007 or January 2008.

Three Oaks Parkway from East Terry Street to the Brooks (Coconut Road)

This four mile segment is also new construction of a four lane highway. On May 8th construction was begun with the groundbreaking three days later, on the 11th. This segment is also being constructed by Posen Construction, the Michigan firm that is new to our market, and claims that it has an excellent record of finishing its projects on time. The segment is planned to be opened for use in January 2008.

Three Oaks Parkway from Corkscrew Road to Alico Road

The contract for this segment was awarded to Posen Construction in October 2006. Posen began construction in early December. When complete this segment will permit motorists to travel from Alico Road in Ft Myers to Radio Road in Naples upon a continuous 4 lane highway.
