We hear the new pier construction will begin soon. We are hopeful!
The Lee Board of County Commissioners continued its commitment to rebuilding and expanding the Fort Myers Beach fishing pier, voting to award a construction contract for the project.
The project will extend the pier to approximately 1,000 feet in length and 12 feet in width, significantly increasing its size and capacity. Planned improvements include reinforced concrete piles, a concrete deck, aluminum railings, shade structures and controlled access points to enhance durability and public use. Construction is expected to commence upon obtaining final approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is expected to take about a year.
