DOT advises motorists to be aware of double Spring Training home games
Spring Training is back and Lee County’s Traffic Operations Center reminds motorists to be prepared for increased traffic near the stadiums at game time, especially when the Minnesota Twins and the Boston Red Sox take to their respective fields at the same time.
The operations center has special programming for traffic-signal timing to help keep vehicles moving, but motorists who can avoid the Daniels Parkway corridor at the start and conclusion of two simultaneous games should do so.
Those games start at 1:05 p.m. on:
* Monday, Feb. 27
* Thursday, March 9
* Saturday, March 11
The Boston Red Sox train at JetBlue Park, 11500 Fenway South Drive, Fort Myers, and the Minnesota Twins train about six miles away at the CenturyLink Sports Complex, 14100 Ben C. Pratt/Six Mile Cypress Parkway, Fort Myers.
For emergency or non-emergency questions about the traffic signal operation, contact the TOC at LeeTraffic-TOC@leegov.com or call 239-533-5762. For more information about the Lee County Department of Transpor-tation, visit www.leegov.com/dot.
