SR 78 Widening from Burnt Store Road to Chiquita Boulevard: This $10.4 million construction project included widening the existing two-lane roadway into a divided four-lane highway with extensive drainage improvements and two large retention/treatment ponds. The project included some residential and commercial properties. Providing access to the properties was a major concern. Once the new roadway was constructed, the existing roadway was rebuilt and resurfaced. The project also included installation of new mast arm signalized intersections, lighting, and cantilevered signs. The FDOT District One project began in June 2013 and was completed in October 2014. The Fort Myers Operation Office submitted this project for Best Roadway Project and Best Public Involvement Project to the FTBA.

This FDOT District One project began in February 2013 and was completed in September 2013.
