I-75 Central Corridor Managed Lanes Study

Project Limits: I-75 from north of Bayshore Rd. (SR 78) to south of River Rd. (SR 777)

FPID No: 448864-1

The Department has completed a Planning and Feasibility study from north of Bayshore Road (SR 78) in Lee County to south of the River Road (SR 777) interchange in Sarasota County that makes up and evaluated the future needs of the I-75 Central Corridor in District One. This study evaluated strategies for the mainline and interchanges, including managed lanes, that would improve accessibility, mobility, and safety. Results of this study has been documented in this corridors Master Plan.

The Master Plan allows FDOT to better focus future efforts and funding in the most critical areas. This long-range approach provides a regional perspective in identifying the areas where future demand is predicted and assists the Department in defining the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study limits for the corridor. Improvements identified in this Master Plan may include widening, managed lanes, modifying interchanges, and evaluating requests for new interchanges.
