The Florida Department of Transportation is advancing plans to widen Interstate 75 between Golden Gate Parkway in Collier County and Alico Road in Lee County, drawing concerns from some nearby residents. The project could add auxiliary and express lanes in both directions, modify ramps and build a diverging diamond interchange at Immokalee Road. Residents attending an Aug. 31 meeting at Estero Community Park raised concerns about traffic noise and the potential effects of the widening on nearby neighborhoods, with noise walls a key topic. FDOT says the project is intended to improve traffic flow and safety. The project remains in design, with another public forum planned for October, WINK News reports.
