I-75 at SR 951 (exit 101) Interchange Improvements: FDOT is reconstructing the I-75 southbound on- and off-ramp connections and the northbound on-ramp connection to the mainline lanes at SR 951 (exit 101). The northeast quadrant loop ramp will be connected to, and accessible only by, a direct flyover ramp from northbound Collier Boulevard starting south of the Davis Boulevard intersection. This single-lane flyover ramp will carry traffic over Beck Boulevard and a reconstructed I-75 southbound on-ramp. A single-lane flyover ramp extension will carry I-75 southbound traffic over Davis Boulevard to a new signalized intersection at Collier Boulevard and Business Circle North. This ramp will extend along the western side of Collier Boulevard. 

The following activities are subject to change based on weather conditions and unforeseen underground conditions. 

• During the nighttime/overnight hours of 9:30 p.m. to 6 a.m., motorists should expect lane closures on CR 951/Collier Boulevard between SR 84/Davis Boulevard/Beck Boulevard and Business Circle South.  These closures are expected through October 2024. 
   

• Crews continue to build bridge structures for the new bridge over Beck Boulevard, east of Collier Boulevard. Motorists can expect daytime lane closures between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on northbound Collier Boulevard from just south of Beck Boulevard to just south of the southbound on-ramp at I-75.  

• Motorists should expect the outside right turn lane from southbound SR 951 to westbound SR 84/Davis Boulevard closed.  Drivers can continue to turn right from the remaining open turn lane.  This closure is needed for crews to begin work for the force main and bridge foundation installation and will remain in place through job completion. 

• Pedestrians should expect a sidewalk closure along SR 84 (Davis Boulevard) just west of SR 951 (Collier Boulevard) and along SR 951 (Collier Boulevard) between SR 84 (Davis Boulevard) and Business Circle North. Pedestrians may use SR 84 (Davis Boulevard) to Market Street to Business Circle South to access SR 951 (Collier Boulevard). 

• Motorists are advised that the SR 84 (Davis Boulevard) eastbound direct access ramp heading south to SR 951 (Collier Boulevard) is permanently closed. The eastbound to southbound right turn will be available at the intersection. 

• Motorists should expect reduced lane widths for southbound Collier Boulevard between Business Circle North and Business Circle South.  

Please use caution and watch for workers and construction vehicles entering and leaving the roadway. The expected completion date is spring 2026. For more information please visit: https://www.swflroads.com/project/425843-2.
