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:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
