Officials say once completed, it would east traffic on Immokalee Road.

The county envisions a 6 lane road several years down the line. Part of the project could include relocating a canal. Neighbors worry about flooding, especially with golf courses nearby.
"When all their lakes fill up at a higher elevation, that water is going to level itself and come over on me," said Wayne McCollum, who lives off Vanderbilt Beach Road.
The county still needs to get the permitting from the state as well as approval from the county commission before breaking ground, which it hopes to do in the year 2021.
