The northeast quadrant loop ramp will be connected to, and accessible only by, a direct flyover ramp from northbound Collier Boulevard starting south of the Davis Boulevard intersection. This single-lane flyover ramp will carry traffic over Beck Boulevard and a reconstructed I-75 southbound on-ramp. A single-lane flyover ramp extension will carry I-75 southbound traffic over Davis Boulevard to a new signalized intersection at Collier Boulevard and Business Circle North. This ramp will extend along the western side of Collier Boulevard. 

   

  The following activities are subject to change based on weather conditions and unforeseen underground conditions. 

   

  • Continuing during the nighttime/overnight hours from 8 p.m. through 6 a.m., excluding Friday and Saturday nights, motorists should expect the I-75 southbound on ramp from northbound S.R. 951 (Collier Boulveard) closed for paving. To reach I-75 southbound, motorists traveling north on S.R. 951/Collier Boulevard must do a U-turn to return south and use the new I-75 southbound on ramp for southbound S.R. 951/Collier Boulevard traffic. These nighttime closures are expected to continue for the coming weeks for ongoing paving operations. 

   

  • Motorists should expect nighttime lane closures on both I-75 northbound and I-75 southbound over S.R. 951/Collier Boulevard for road widening and paving. 

   

  • The new southbound I-75 on ramp is open.  Motorists traveling southbound on CR 951/Collier Boulevard to southbound I-75 will now keep right to use the new loop ramp to access southbound I-75. A left turn is no longer accessible.  Motorists traveling northbound on CR 951/Collier Boulevard will continue to stay right to use the ramp to reach southbound I-75. 

   

  • Motorists should expect intermittent daytime and nighttime lane closures for both southbound and northbound C.R. 951/Collier for crews to pour concrete, install temporary barrier wall, move equipment, deliver materials, and construct the overhead bridge work.  

   

  • Motorists should expect the outside right turn lane from southbound S.R. 951 to westbound S.R. 84/Davis Boulevard closed.  Drivers can continue to turn right from the remaining open turn lane.  This closure is needed for crews to begin work for the bridge foundation installation and will remain in place through job completion. 

   

  • Pedestrians should expect a sidewalk closure along S.R. 84 (Davis Boulevard) just west of S.R. 951 (Collier Boulevard) and along S.R. 951 (Collier Boulevard) between S.R. 84 (Davis Boulevard) and Business Circle North. Pedestrians may use S.R. 84 (Davis Boulevard) to Market Street to Business Circle South to access S.R. 951 (Collier Boulevard). 

   

  • Motorists are advised that the S.R. 84 (Davis Boulevard) eastbound direct access ramp heading south to S.R. 951 (Collier Boulevard) is permanently closed. The eastbound to southbound right turn will be available at the intersection.
