I-75 at S.R. 951 (exit 101) Interchange Improvements: FDOT is reconstructing the I-75 southbound on- and off-ramp connections and the northbound on-ramp connection to the mainline lanes at S.R. 951 (exit 101). 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. 
 

• During the nighttime/overnight hours on Tuesday, December 9 and Wednesday, December 10, motorists should expect S.R. 84/Davis Boulevard closed at S.R./C.R. 951/Collier Boulevard for crews to install beams for the elevated roadway, weather permitting.  Motorists may use Business Circle North or Business Circle South and Market Street instead of the S.R. 84/Davis intersection.  Detour signs will be posted. 

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

• Motorists should expect lane shifts on S.R./C.R.951/Collier Boulevard from Business Circle South to I-75 to create work zones for crews to construct the elevated roadway. 

• 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. 

• Motorists should expect reduced lane widths for southbound Collier Boulevard between Business Circle North and Business Circle South.  

Please use caution and watch for workers and construction vehicles entering and leaving the roadway. The expected completion date is end of 2026. For more information please visit: https://www.swflroads.com/project/425843-2.
