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:
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
