IROX Progress
The project of widening I75 from 4 lanes to 6 lanes, known as IROX, is moving way ahead of schedule. The expanded road, going from Colonial Boulevard in Lee County to Golden Gate Parkway in Collier County, is now expected to be completed before Christmas. There is one exception however. The I75 interchange at Immokalee Road, which includes a longer and wider bridge, will not be done until the scheduled completion date of April, 2010, meaning continued traffic problems in that area.
