ABOUT THE CORRIDOR:

The Southwest Connect™ Central Corridor limits extend north along I-75 from north of Bayshore Road (SR 78) in Lee County to south of the River Road (SR 777) interchange in Sarasota County, approximately 45 miles in length.

In Charlotte County, I-75 crosses the navigable Peace River between US 17 and Harbor View Road. Roadway classification within the Central Corridor limits is primarily Rural Principal Arterial – Interstate. Segments designated as Urban Principal Arterial – Interstate are within the urbanized Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte areas in Charlotte County and an area between N Toledo Blade Boulevard and Sumter Boulevard in Sarasota County. This segment of I-75 is a six-lane divided facility with a minimum right-of-way (ROW) width of 324 feet. Typically, the ROW is wider at interchanges or locations where northbound and southbound travel lanes follow separate alignments.
