The 2023 Florida Legislature approved the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative to address critical state roadway needs.

FDOT selected key projects, including previously approved but unfunded ones with community support.

$4 billion from the state surplus is dedicated to accelerate construction and improve safety, congestion, and resiliency.

The initiative responds to rapid population growth, projected at 1,000 new residents per day for 30 years.

Investments focus on major interstates and arterial roads to support the movement of people and goods.

Combined with FDOT's ongoing work program, Florida's five-year transportation budget now totals $66.1 billion.

In Southwest Florida, this includes the I-75 at Pine Ridge Road Interchange Improvements in Naples, and I-75 from Golden Gate Parkway to Alico Road.
