Site work and paving for a road / highway in Bonita Springs, Florida. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway.

This project is under FPIDs: 435347-1 and 435110-1. Old 41 (County Road 887) is currently an undivided two-lane roadway, that also includes a center turn lane at various points within the study area. It is classified as a major urban collector that provides access to a number of residential subdivisions and industrial parks along the project corridor. It is also an important facility for commuters and freight traffic as an access point from US 41/Tamiami Trail and Bonita Beach Road to major transportation facilities, including Interstate 75. The goal of this Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study is to evaluate and document potential engineering and environmental effects of any proposed improvements needed to relieve existing congestion and accommodate future travel demand from projected population and employment growth in the area. Improvements may include the potential widening of the roadway up to four lanes, as well as safety considerations for bicyclists and pedestrians, such as marked bicycle lanes, sidewalks, and/or a shared-use path. FDOT is conducting this PD&E study in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other federal and state laws and regulations. This project (although under one study) has two segments due to part of the project being located in Collier County and part of the project being located in Lee County. The first segment, in Collier County, is from US 41/Tamiami Trail to the Lee County Line. The second segment, in Lee County, is from the Collier County Line to Bonita Beach Road. As of June 9, 2026, this project is still in the project development and environment study phase. A timeline for design and construction has not been established yet.
