## About

This project will widen and resurface the existing I-75 southbound exit ramp travel lanes and shoulders to provide dual left-turn lanes from southbound I-75 to eastbound CR 54. Additional improvements include signing and pavement markings, signalization, drainage improvements, and upgraded intersection lighting.
