I-75 detours planned Tuesday night, overnight

Information from the Florida Department of Transportation:

A detour for I-75 is planned for tonight and overnight for bridge work over I-75.

Details of the work is as follows:

I-75 -- Airport Direct Connect from south of the Alico Road interchange (#128) to south of the Daniels Parkway interchange (#131): Construction project: Work continues to build a direct connection from I-75 to the Southwest Florida International Airport. The job adds new lanes parallel to I-75 from south of the Alico Road interchange to Daniels Parkway interchange. The contractor is building two bridges, over I-75 and Treeline Avenue/Ben Hill Griffin Parkway, connecting the interstate to the airport.

Work along I-75

During nighttime/overnight hours from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Tuesday/Wednesday, crews will close I-75 northbound and southbound to install concrete railing on the bridge over I-75. During these hours, northbound and southbound motorists will use Ben Hill Griffin Parkway/Treeline Avenue to travel between Alico Road and Daniels Parkway. Southbound motorists will exit at Daniels Parkway and travel east to Ben Hill Griffin Parkway/Treeline Avenue to re-enter the interstate at the Alico Road interchange. Northbound motorists will exit at Alico Road and travel east to Ben Hill Griffin Parkway/Treeline Avenue to re-enter the interstate at the Daniels Parkway interchange.

Next week motorists also should expect lane closures on I-75 during nighttime/overnight hours from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.as construction activities continue. The outside southbound exit-only-lane at Alico Road (exit #128) is closed during daytime and nighttime hours. These closures allow crews to widen the highway and continue work on the bridge over I-75. Motorists should be aware of slow moving traffic and possible delays.

During the day, crews are working on the bridge over I-75, constructing new lanes parallel to the interstate, and installing guardrail throughout the project.

Crews also continue digging ponds and placing fill to build new lanes. Motorists should be aware of construction vehicles and equipment entering/exiting I-75, Ben Hill Griffin Parkway/Treeline Avenue near the airport entrance, Terminal Access Road, and Three Oaks Parkway, Alico Road and Corkscrew Road.
