Major
junctions: US 27 near Weston, FL
SR 29 near Immokalee, FL

Alligator Alley (also known as Everglades Parkway[2]) is a section of Interstate 75 (State Road 93) and State Road 84 extending from Naples on the west coast of Florida to Weston on the east. First opened in 1969,[3] most of the highway traverses the Everglades.

The name was given by the American Automobile Association during planning; they believed it would be a useless road, an "alley for alligators." However, since alligators often frequent the waterways beside the road, the nickname has a somewhat literal meaning. READ MORE AT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alligator_Alley
