The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, designed plans for the segment of SR 82 from the Hendry County Line to Gator Slough Lane in Collier County. Project improvements include: widening from two lanes to four lanes, bridge replacements, the addition of a grass median, a 10-ft. multi-use path, a 5-ft. concrete sidewalk, 5-ft. paved shoulders, and associated drainage improvements. The project corridor is approximately 3.8 miles long and was included in the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study for the widening of approximately 23 miles of SR 82 from Lee Boulevard/County Road (CR) 884 to SR 29 in Lee, Hendry and Collier counties. The study was approved by the Federal Highway Administration on October 23, 2009.

 

A Public Information Meeting was held from 5 to 7 p.m., October 17, 2018 at the UF/IFAS Southwest Florida Research and Education Center located at 2685 SR 29 North, Immokalee, Florida to discuss these proposed improvements.
