Case Study
SR 80 from CR 833 to US 27 and SR 80/US 27 Interchange | Volkert
SR 80 from CR 833 to US 27 and SR 80/US 27 Interchange | Volkert Location: Hendry County, FL Client: Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) The project was for the widening of two miles of SR 80 from two lanes to four lanes, and the design of a new interchange to replace the existing SR 80/US 27 at grade intersection.
