The Empire State Building took 401 days to complete. I-75 and 484 has taken FDOT over 1,100 days and counting.

To the Editor:

How is it that the overpass at I-75 and County Road 484 is still not complete?

The Empire State Building took 401 days to complete. We are going on 1,100 days for the overpass.

The traffic is horrific, the congestion is abominable, the frustration from working people who use this every day is growing and Ocala can’t seem to figure out or compete this project for an overpass.

The Empire State Building was competed and furnished in 500 days. Yet, County Road 484 and I-75 still sits idle after 1,000 plus days. We can’t compete this faster than the Empire State Building. Hogwash.
