Lee County, FL – Drivers in Lee County should expect full bridge closures Monday evening as the annual Midpoint Madness Veterans Day 5K takes over the Midpoint Bridge.
According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, both directions of the bridge will close starting at 6 p.m. on Monday, November 11, and remain shut down until approximately 9 p.m. while runners participate in the event.
Deputies will be on scene to manage traffic and ensure safety alongside Lee County DOT crews throughout the event. Officials are urging drivers to plan ahead and use alternate routes to avoid delays during the three-hour closure.
The Midpoint Madness 5K is an annual Veterans Day tradition that draws participants from across Southwest Florida to honor local service members. The race route spans the bridge connecting Cape Coral and Fort Myers, creating a scenic — but traffic-impacting — evening experience.
Motorists are reminded to allow extra travel time, obey detour signs, and stay alert for pedestrians in the area during and after the event.
