State Road 29: A new corridor?

If you look at a map of Southwest Florida, the next north-south corridor east of Interstate 75 is State Road 29.

The two-lane road cuts through hamlets you may never have heard of, such as Felda and Jerome. But it also slices through the agricultural town of Immokalee, home to Ave Maria University and the Seminole Casino.

In a blog on the Henderson Franklin law firm website, Fort Myers attorney Carlos Kelley says the Florida Department of Transportation is considering widening State Road 29 from Oil Well Road in Collier County to State Road 82.
