Fort Myers, Florida — A spring training game in Fort Myers is expected to slow traffic near JetBlue Park today.
According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, drivers should expect heavier traffic along Daniels Parkway and Six Mile Cypress Parkway as fans travel to the Philadelphia Phillies vs. Boston Red Sox spring training game scheduled for 1:05 p.m.
The sheriff’s office issued a traffic advisory on social media urging motorists to plan routes and travel times accordingly, noting that traffic delays could persist before and after the game as thousands of fans arrive at the stadium.
JetBlue Park, located off Daniels Parkway in south Fort Myers, serves as the spring training home of the Boston Red Sox and regularly draws large crowds during preseason matchups. Events at the stadium often create congestion on surrounding roadways, particularly during weekday afternoon games when commuter traffic is already active.
Authorities did not report any crashes or road closures connected to the advisory. However, deputies warned that traffic flow may be slower than usual in the surrounding corridor, especially near stadium entrances and major intersections leading to the ballpark.
Drivers traveling through the area are encouraged to allow extra travel time, use alternate routes when possible, and remain alert for increased pedestrian activity near JetBlue Park.
For younger drivers, students, and workers commuting through south Fort Myers, the advisory could mean longer-than-usual travel times during the early afternoon period.
Officials say the advisory is intended to help reduce congestion and maintain safe traffic flow as fans attend the game.
Authorities have not indicated how long delays may last but note that traffic typically increases both before the first pitch and immediately following the game’s conclusion.
