SR 29 At SR 82 Roundabout Opening In February

IMMOKALEE, FL. -- The Florida Department of Transportation is expected to open the newly-constructed roundabout at the intersection of SR 29 and SR 82 in mid-February. 

Construction for the roundabout started in the fall of 2019 as part of the SR 82 Road Widening Project from Gator Slough Lane to State Road (SR) 29. 

The project improvements include widening SR 82 from Gator Slough Lane to SR 29 from a two-lane undivided roadway to a four-lane divided roadway. The roundabout at the intersection of SR 82 and SR 29 will improve the overall safety and enhance connectivity throughout the corridor.

Additional improvements include construction of 5-foot-wide paved shoulders, which will also serve as bike lanes, a 54-foot-wide median, a 10-foot multi-use trail along the south side, and a 5-foot sidewalk along the north side. LED lighting will also be added throughout this segment. The cost of the project is $29 million and the estimated completion is summer 2022.

FDOT invites the community to learn more about how to drive the roundabout by visiting the project website at www.SR29Roundabout.com. Materials in English and Spanish including a video and informational flyer, are available for viewing.
