The third segment runs from Alabama Road to Homestead Road. According to the project’s website, “FDOT is preparing design plans to expand State Road 82 from two to four lanes from Alabama Road to Homestead Road in Lee County.” This segment of State Road 82 could be widened from four lanes to six lanes in the future.

According to the project’s website, the right-of-way acquisition phase should begin in early 2014. If you own property running along State Road 82 between Alabama Road and Homestead Road, portions of your property may be needed for the project. In that case, you would hear from FDOT.

As of October 21, 2013, the FDOT’s Project Summary showed that the FDOT has allocated $1,165,097.00 for right-of-way acquisition in fiscal year 2016. As of October 21, 2013, the FDOT’s project schedule for this segment shows that appraisal work will take place October 28, 2015 through April 14, 2016 and shows that the negotiations for property needed for the Alabama Road to Homestead Road segment are scheduled to take place February 18, 2016 through June 29, 2017.
