FDOT plans public meetings on Southwest Florida I-75 widening

The Florida Department of Transportation is planning public meetings about a proposed widening project on Interstate 75 in Southwest Florida.

Public information meetings

FDOT will use the meetings to inform the public about the project. The meetings are part of the department’s public process for discussing the I-75 widening work.

Residents and other members of the public can use the meetings to learn about the project and its potential effects. The meetings also give the public a setting to raise questions with the transportation department.

Project focus

The project involves widening I-75 in Southwest Florida. The information available for this report does not identify the project’s limits, construction schedule, meeting dates, meeting locations, design details or estimated cost.

Those details are important for people who travel the corridor or live near the planned work. FDOT’s public meetings are the next point for the department to explain the project in greater detail.

What residents can do

People interested in the project should watch for FDOT’s meeting announcements and project information. Public meetings are intended to keep residents informed as the department discusses the I-75 widening proposal.

The meetings do not represent a final construction completion date or provide a construction timetable. They are an opportunity for FDOT to present information and for the public to participate in the discussion.
