(Fort Myers, Fla) - Florida is well on the road to improving the state's infrastructure and transportation systems with the Moving Florida Forward Initiative.
Florida's Lt. Governor Jeanette Nuñez announced today the $4-billion plan to fix roads, relieve congestion and improve safety statewide. She says the projects including the widening of I-75 are ahead of schedule and under budget.
FDOT secretary Jared Perdue says the state has billions of dollars to solve the problems over the next five years.
"With the $4 billion dedicated for Moving Florida Forward’s initiative and the Department’s work program, FDOT’s total budget for the next 5 years totals over $68 Billion in transportation investments."
