Update as of June 7, 2010

The Lee County Board of County Commissioners at the June 7, 2010 Management and Planning meeting, suspended the Colonial Express Lanes Project and the Colonial Project Development & Environment Study until the County’s 2035 Long Range Transportation Update is complete in December 2010.

Colonial Boulevard Study
Lee County is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study for improvement alternatives along Colonial Boulevard (CR 884/SR 884) from west of McGregor Boulevard to east of I-75 in Lee County, Florida. 

Study Purpose
The purpose of the PD&E Study is to provide documented environmental and engineering analyses to assist Lee County , as well as the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) , in reaching a decision on the type, location and conceptual design of the necessary improvements in order to accommodate future traffic demand in a safe and efficient manner.  This project will be submitted through the Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) process.  The PD&E Study also satisfies the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other Federal requirements in order to qualify the project for Federal-aid funding of future development phases of the project.  This web site will help you to stay up to date with the study's progress.  

Information from the Bi-County Study can be found on the Project Information page.  Project documents are available for viewing on this page.  Information regarding Lee County's Colonial Boulevard Express Lanes Initiative can be found at www.colonialexpress.net.
