\nThe 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.
\nThis project has been advanced as a part of the \;Moving Flori da Forward Infrastructure Initiative\, a statewide effort to deliver conge stion relief faster and more efficiently to Florida’s residents and visito rs. \; As population and development increase\, congestion on I-75 wil l continue to worsen without added capacity. \; These improvements are designed to meet travel needs well into the future.
