"Over the last 40 years, population growth meant additional traffic along I-75 in Lee County—one of Florida’s main north-south thoroughfares. To address the traffic increase, the Florida Department of Transportation is widening 33 miles of I-75 from four to eight lanes. The goal? Enhance mobility for people, commerce, and industry."

A more conventional pier widening scheme would require construction from the foundation level up.
