FORT MYERS, Fla. A $45 million dollar construction proposal for a congested intersection took center stage at a Florida Department of Transportation hearing Thursday.

If approved, the proposed initiative would begin in 2019 and would create a diverging diamond design at the intersection of Colonial Boulevard and Interstate 75.

An open house took place before the hearing at the Gulf Coast Church of Christ on 9550 Six Mile Cypress Parkway.

WINK News reporter Brooke Shafer went live via Facebook to break down the proposal:

Those who couldn’t make it to the hearing can download a copy of the comment form online and email it to project manager Justin Reck at Justin.Reck@dot.state.fl.us by Monday, June 26.
