I-75 at US 441/US 41 Interchange Improvements (Including Access Management Improvements at SW Howell Street)
Overview

Columbia County, in conjunction with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Two, invites you to the I-75 at US 441/US 41 Interchange Improvements (including access management improvements at SW Howell Street) Hybrid Public Meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to inform the public of the proposed improvements and serve as an official forum providing an opportunity for the public to express their opinions and concerns regarding the project.

About the Project

The project is proposing operational improvements to the I-75 at US 441/US 41 interchange (commonly referred to as Ellisville Interchange) by signalizing the ramp intersections, adding turn lanes, extending existing storage lanes, and accommodating U-turn movements. South of the Ellisville Interchange, the project will enhance safety and operations by converting the existing full median opening at SW Howell Street and US 441/US 41 intersection to a directional median opening and providing a new signalized intersection 1,500 feet south of SW Howell Street. The movements removed from the SW Howell Street and US 441/US 41 intersection will be accommodated through a new roadway called Ellisville Access Road. These improvements will accommodate both existing developments as well as planned future developments along the corridor.
