Project Brief

The Erosion, Sedimentation, and Pollution Control Plan was developed by KCA. This project involves the design of 8.3 miles of a 4-lane expressway on new alignment. Included were one major interchange, mainline and ramp toll plazas, and 8.6 miles of frontage and access roads. The alignment crosses many wetland areas and many closed drainage basins necessitating extensive stormwater management design efforts. Ten dry retention ponds, three wet retention ponds, eight large retention ditches were designed to meet South West Florida Water Management District permitting requirements. Five bridges are on the project, including three, two-span prestressed concrete structures, and two 2-span continuous steel plate girder structures. Construction was completed in November 2000.
