Lee County announces Alico Road Widening Project ribbon-cutting

Lee County officials on Jan. 14, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Alico Road Widening Project at ITEC Park Drive, just north of Alico Road on Innovation Lane. 

Lee County Department of Transportation recently completed the 2.2-mile road-widening project from Ben Hill Griffin Parkway to Airport Haul Road. The road, which previously was a two-lane undivided highway, is now a four-lane divided highway with on-road bike lanes and a 12-foot, shared-use path on each side. New underground utility lines also were installed.  

Work on the $18 million project was completed six months ahead of schedule.
