The Florida Department of Transportation is working to improve nearly 4 miles of State Road 82.

The construction is happening on SR-82 from the Hendry County Line to Gator Slough Lane in Collier County.

FDOT says drivers can expect intermittent lane closures on both the northbound and southbound sides during the day and night.

Crews will work to widen SR-82 from two to four lanes.

They’ll also add street lighting, a five-foot sidewalk, a grass median, a ten-foot multi-use path, and five-foot paved shoulders.

FDOT says drivers should be cautious and aware of construction vehicles entering and exiting the roadway.

The project is expected to be finished by late fall 2026.
