CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla.—Construction will state soon in Charlotte County, as the state moves forward with plans to add new lanes to part of the interstate.
The four-mile stretch from Jones Loop Road to U.S. 17, in Charlotte County, is the only four-lane section of I-75 that is left between Alligator Alley and the Florida-Georgia border.
The state plans to expand the highway to 6-lanes in that area.
The $29 million project will start at the end of the month and construction is expected to take a year and a half.
