The US 41 (SR 45) at Six Mile Cypress Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study is being conducted to address future traffic demand, enhance safety, and improve the roadway’s design to accommodate all users, including bicyclists and pedestrians. The study is located in unincorporated Lee County, Florida.

The study will evaluate potential capacity improvements for the intersection, considering both at-grade and grade-separated options, while prioritizing safety enhancements for both motorized and non-motorized users.
