UPCOMING PUBLIC WORKSHOP – VIRTUAL: Tuesday, May 14, 2024 at 6 p.m.; IN PERSON: Thursday, May 16, 2024 at 5 p.m.

FDOT invites you to an upcoming public workshop. The purpose of this workshop is to share the intersection improvements and analysis completed to date, and to provide the public an opportunity to comment for the official workshop record. Read the Public Involvement section below for all information.

I-75 at Pine Ridge Road interchange is one of the four interchanges along I-75 in Collier County. This project has been advanced as a part the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative.

The interchange improvements include the design of a diverging diamond interchange (DDI), which will significantly reduce delay on Pine Ridge Road, increase the storage capacity of the I-75 southbound off-ramp, and reduce the number of conflict points to improve overall safety for all users. The DDI also offers the ability to accommodate future traffic volume growth.  Proposed improvements are located within the limited access right-of-way.
