Implementation of the Diverging Diamond Interchange I-75 at Pine Ridge Road

NAPLES, Fla. – FDOT will begin implementation of the Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) at the I-75 at Pine Ridge Road interchange (Exit 107) on May 29. The following closures allow crews to shift the travel lanes into the final DDI configuration. Work includes lane restriping, temporary signage, and traffic signals. Upon opening on Monday, June 1, drivers will be traveling in the final DDI configuration with pavement markings guiding motorists through the interchange. More signage will be installed as the project progresses.

On Friday, May 29 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. there will be intermittent closures of the southbound I-75 on-ramp and northbound I-75 off-ramp. Motorists should follow the posted detour signs or identify alternate routes.

From Friday, May 29 at 11 p.m. to Monday, June 1 at 6 a.m. there will be a full closure of eastbound and westbound Pine Ridge Road under I-75 for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists. The following movements will be closed:

• Eastbound and westbound Pine Ridge Road, under I-75
• Left turn from northbound I-75 off-ramp to westbound Pine Ridge Road
• Left turn from southbound I-75 off-ramp to eastbound Pine Ridge Road

During this closure, motorists should follow posted detour routes. For southbound I-75 to eastbound Pine Ridge Road, motorists may exit at Immokalee Road (Exit 111) eastbound to southbound Logan Boulevard, then return to Pine Ridge Road. For northbound I-75 to westbound Pine Ridge Road, motorists may exit at Golden Gate Parkway (Exit 105) westbound to northbound Livingston Road, then return to Pine Ridge Road. I-75 will remain open in both directions over Pine Ridge Road.

Motorists traveling east on Pine Ridge Road may enter southbound I-75, exit at Golden Gate Parkway, enter northbound I-75, and exit onto eastbound Pine Ridge Road. Motorists traveling west on Pine Ridge Road may enter northbound I-75, exit at Immokalee Road, enter southbound I-75, and exit onto westbound Pine Ridge Road.

Detour Map

Law enforcement will be onsite to assist motorists during the closures. These activities are subject to change based on weather and unforeseen conditions. The alternate dates for inclement weather are Friday, June 5 through Monday, June 8.

This traffic shift marks the completion of the DDI configuration, not final completion of the project. Crews will continue working on sidewalks, barrier walls, pond excavation, permanent signage and signalization, lighting, paving, striping, and sod installation, with final completion anticipated mid-2027.

DDI Final Configuration

FDOT will have a safe area adjacent to the project site for media staging on Sunday, May 31 from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. FDOT Director of Public Information Janella Newsome, and FDOT Construction Project Manager Josephine Mak are scheduled to be on-site for interviews.
