Edgewater Drive widening and Flamingo/SR‑776 intersection set for 2027 construction; FDOT CEI approved

Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners Local Transportation Quarterly Meeting · July 21, 2026

Summary

County staff said phases of Edgewater Drive widening have 100% plans and that the Flamingo/State Road 776 intersection CEI was approved by FDOT; CEI shortlisting is July 30 and construction will be let in August, with some developer‑built legs coordinated separately.

John Elias reported the Edgewater Drive and Flamingo Boulevard widening project is broken into multiple phases; phases 3–5 have received 100% plans and right‑of‑way acquisition remains underway. He said the Flamingo/SR‑776 intersection will be funded by a LAP grant, the northern leg will be built by the developer, and staff secured FDOT approval for construction engineering inspection (CEI).

Elias said the CEI shortlisting is scheduled for July 30 and the county expects to let construction in August. Commissioners asked for full intersection graphics showing both county and developer work and for clarity about interim versus final geometry when the developer has not yet connected their leg.
