Projects of Interest
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study Re-evaluation for proposed improvements to SR 29 from CR 80A (Cowboy Way) to north of CR 731 (Whidden Rd) in Hendry County. These improvements are intended to improve traffic operations, access, and mobility along SR 29.
The SR 31 Extension Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study is evaluating the social, cultural, natural, and physical effects of constructing a new alignment extending SR 31 from its current terminus at SR 70 further north to connect to US 17
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study for proposed improvements west of US 27 and eastof US 17 between SR 70 and SR 66 in Hardee, DeSoto, and Highlands Counties. Building on the findings of the Highlands County Feasibility Study, the PD&E will assess a potential new alignment to better accommodate the evolving nature of US 27 and address key needs such as network resilience, freight movement, and safe mobility. The PD&E process, which includes the option of a No Build alternative, follows the procedures outlined in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, along with federal and state laws and regulations.

While using the SUN Trail network, watch for signs like the one below. Use your phone camera to scan the QR code or use the internet link provided and complete a short 1-minute survey with 5 questions collecting information about the trail you are visiting.
The purpose of this Highlands County Feasibility Study is to evaluate the US 27 corridor from CR 17 to SR 17 in Highlands County in terms of regional safety, mobility, and accessibility needs to support the communities’ quality of life, regional and local economies, and to minimizing impacts to the environment.
The vision for the Collier to Polk Regional Trail is to provide a continuous multi-use trail that traverses Collier, Hendry, Glades, Highlands, Hardee, and Polk counties. When completed, the Collier to Polk Regional Trail is expected to be over 200 miles and will connect to other regional trail systems such as the Florida Coast to Coast Trail and Florida Gulf Coast Trail.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, is conducting the State Road 29 (SR 29) LaBelle Bypass Feasibility Study in Hendry and Glades Counties. The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of constructing an alternative corridor for SR 29 that would bypass the City of LaBelle, Florida, within an approximate 10-mile radius. This evaluation is critical due to traffic congestion and safety concerns associated with the current route that runs through LaBelle. The no-build alternative, where no improvements other than routine maintenance are made to SR 29, will remain viable throughout the remainder of this study.
