Route Description
Alligator Alley itself is currently the portion of Interstate 75 that carries the hidden designation of Florida State Road 84. SR 84 is picked up at the east point at Exit 22, after straddling I-595 and I-75 as a frontage road for about 14.4 miles (23.2 km) prior. It then continues across rural Broward and Collier Counties, passing the lands of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, until letting go of SR 84 at Exit 101 in Naples.
Currently, automobile drivers pay a $3.00 toll ($2.75 for SunPass users) both eastbound and westbound, and it is one of only three tolled sections of Interstate 75. There are two exits along the roadway, neither of which charges a toll to enter or exit the highway.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
