Overview
In
addition to Lee County’s transportation improvement projects, the Florida
Department of Transportation completed improvements to the I-75 Corkscrew

multiple private developments in various stages of planning and construction
along the Corkscrew corridor. The Lee County School District and the Village of
Estero currently have facilities located within the corridor, along with
Pinewoods Elementary School and Estero Fire Station No. 44.
