Microsoft Teams Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026 6 – 7 p.m. Click to join: https://bit.ly/I-75GGtoAlico The purpose of this project is to increase capacity, improve traffic operations, and enhance safety on I-75 from Golden Gate Parkway to Alico Road within Collier and Lee Counties. Proposed improvements include adding segments of additional lanes (including auxiliary and express lanes) in both directions, a new diverging diamond interchange at Immokalee Road, ramp modifications at key interchanges, resurfacing, and noise walls at qualifying locations. This project has been advanced as a part of the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative, a statewide effort to deliver congestion relief faster and more efficiently to Florida’s residents and visitors. As population and development increase, congestion on I-75 will continue to worsen without added capacity. These improvements are designed to meet travel needs well into the future. If you have questions about the project, please contact FDOT’s Interstate Community Outreach Team by email at: I75Improvements@atkinsrealis.com or by phone at 239-322-3131.
