===Roadways and bridges===
[[Interstate 75 in Florida|Interstate 75]] passes within {{convert|10|mi|km}} of Cape Coral and connects northward to [[Tampa, Florida|Tampa]]; and southeastward to [[Miami]]. Cape Coral borders on [[U.S. Route 41 in Florida|U.S. Highway 41]]. U.S. 41 and I-75 can be accessed from State Route 78 (Pine Island Road). Within the city a network of arterial roadways are established. Cape Coral has approximately {{convert|1100|mi|km}} of roadways. In general, the north–south routes are evenly spaced apart every one or {{convert|2|mi|km|spell=in}}, and most of them have at least four lanes.

Cape Coral is connected to the south side of the Caloosahatchee River by two bridges. The {{convert|3,400|ft|m}} long [[Cape Coral Bridge]] connects Cape Coral Parkway to College Parkway in [[McGregor, Florida|McGregor]]. The [[Midpoint Memorial Bridge]] connects Veterans Parkway to Colonial Boulevard in Fort Myers. Several other bridges span the Caloosahatchee River east of Cape Coral in adjoining [[North Fort Myers, Florida|North Fort Myers]]. In 2026, the Lee County Department of Transportation and the City of Cape Coral plan on constructing a new westbound span for the Cape Coral Bridge. The westbound span, which was built in 1964, does not meet requirements set forth by Lee County. The $185 million project will include a new pedestrian bridge, an expansion to 6 lanes on both spans, removal of the toll booth on the Fort Myers side, and an expansion of the Cape Coral Parkway and Del Prado Boulevard intersection.<ref>''[https://nbc-2.com/news/2022/05/17/185-million-upgrade-approved-for-cape-coral-bridge-widening-project/amp/ NBC 2 News]''</ref>
