I-75 ROAD WIDENING COMMENCES IN 2026 BETWEEN CORKSCREW ROAD AND GOLDEN GATE

Despite the benefits of widening I-75 from six lanes to eight lanes, Estero residents living near the highway have expressed many concerns about the increased traffic noise that is likely to result. Senior staff at Engage Estero have prepared a detailed article that explains the way the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) determines whether they would put noise abatement solutions in place and how the public, HOAs and gated communities, and our local council can influence the result.

Those communities that are likely to be most affected, but not necessarily limited to, are Stoneybrook, Woodlands, Tidewater, Villagio, Villa Palmares, Shadow Wood, Copperleaf, Lighthouse Bay, and Pebble Pointe.
