LEE COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — The entirety of a Florida highway will now have a new name.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Tuesday designating the entire 124 miles of State Road 80 as “President Donald J. Trump Highway.”

The legislation, Senate Bill 628, replaces an earlier, narrower designation adopted in 2025 that renamed a stretch of Southern Boulevard from Kirk Road to South Ocean Boulevard after the president.

With the bill now a part of state law, the Department of Transportation will be directed to put up markers with the highway’s new name as soon as July 1. The highway runs from Lee County to Palm Beach County.
This comes less than a month after DeSantis signed another piece of legislation rebranding the Palm Beach airport near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate as President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
However, Senate Bill 628 isn’t just focused on State Road 80. Several other state highways will have sections renamed under the new legislation.
Some of these include part of U.S. 41 in Sarasota County, which will be rebranded as “Dickey Betts Memorial Highway,” and a section of State Road 46 in Seminole County, now known as “Mayor Larry A. Dale Memorial Highway.”
