The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, will hold a neighborhood public information meeting for Interstate 75 (I-75) from south of Bee Ridge Road to south of Fruitville Road. The meeting will be an open house format and will include a brief video presentation that will run continuously throughout the meeting. No formal presentation will be held. FDOT representatives will be available to answer individual questions at the display boards and receive written comments. FDOT is preparing design plans for future widening of approximately 3.8 miles of I-75 and reconstruction of the I-75/Bee Ridge Road interchange. The FDOT will rebuild the interchange from the existing diamond design to a hybrid diverging diamond interchange (DDI) and southbound off-ramp to Cattlemen Road. The Department will also rebuild the Bee Ridge Road at Cattlemen Road intersection to a continuous flow intersection (CFI). This information meeting is being conducted to present to the public and officials the final design plans for the project. Project documents and other information are available on the project website (http://www.swflroads.com/i75/beeridgerdtofruitvillerd/). Persons wishing to submit written statements may do so at the meeting or send them to: Richard E. Lilyquist, FDOT Project Manager, 801 N. Broadway Ave, Bartow, FL 33830 or by email at richard.lilyquist@dot.state.fl.us. All statements postmarked on or before February 19, 2017 will become a part of the public information meeting record.
