The Florida Department of Transportation announced timelines for Moving Florida Forward infrastructure projects, including four in Lee and Collier counties totaling more than $700 million. Interstate 75 at Pine Ridge Road interchange improvements, which start in early 2025, include the reconstruction of the interchange to a diverging diamond interchange. Proposed improvements are within the right of way. The I-75 from Golden Gate Parkway to Corkscrew Road project, which begins in fall 2027, will provide capacity improvements to more than 18 miles of I-75 from Golden Gate Parkway to Corkscrew Road. The project will add an additional general-use lane in the northbound and southbound directions (six- to eight-lane widening) and auxiliary lanes as needed. The state Road 29 from County Road 846 East to New Market Road project, which starts in spring 2027, will construct a new alignment of state Road 29 as a four-lane divided roadway to serve as a loop around the downtown Immokalee area. The design will have four 12-foot travel lanes with curb and gutter on both sides, a 22-foot median and 12-foot shared-use paths on both sides for the first mile. For the remainder of the project, the design will have a 30-foot median and outside-paved shoulders and 12-foot shared-use paths on both sides. The project also includes drainage improvements along the entire length of the corridor. The state Road 29 from New Market Road to state Road 82 project, which begins in spring 2027, consists of widening an approximately 3-mile-long segment of state Road 29. The final roadway will consist of two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction with 4-foot paved inside shoulders, 10-foot (5-foot paved) outside shoulders, a 30-foot median and a shared-use path on each side of the roadway. Intersection improvements are proposed for the intersection of state Road 29 at New Market Road/Westclox Street.
