Fort Myers, Fla. — A spring training game at JetBlue Park today may slow traffic along major roadways in south Fort Myers.
According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, drivers should expect congestion near Daniels Parkway and Six Mile Cypress Parkway due to the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Boston Red Sox spring training game scheduled for 1:05 p.m. at JetBlue Park.
Authorities posted a traffic advisory urging residents and visitors to plan their travel routes and driving times accordingly. The sheriff’s office noted that traffic volumes could increase significantly both before the game and during post-game departures, affecting nearby intersections and surrounding streets.
JetBlue Park, located just south of Daniels Parkway near Interstate 75, regularly draws large crowds during Major League Baseball’s spring training season. When games are scheduled, vehicle backups can extend along Daniels Parkway, Six Mile Cypress Parkway, and nearby access roads, particularly in the hours leading up to first pitch.
The sheriff’s office also reminded drivers to adjust driving speeds and remain alert for changing traffic conditions, especially in areas where vehicles may slow suddenly or where pedestrians are crossing near stadium entrances.
Officials did not announce any road closures related to the game, but drivers traveling through the area are encouraged to allow extra time and consider alternate routes if possible.
The advisory is part of routine traffic management efforts during the region’s busy spring training period, when thousands of baseball fans travel to Fort Myers to attend games at JetBlue Park, the Red Sox’s spring training home.
For commuters, students, and service workers traveling through south Fort Myers during the afternoon hours, the advisory may mean longer drive times around the stadium area.
