- History
The first major segment of CR 885 to be completed was Ben Hill Griffin Parkway between Alico and Corkscrew Roads. It was named for Ben Hill Griffin, Jr., former chairman of Alico Inc., whose land was partially donated by Griffin's son Ben Hill Griffin III to the state for the construction of Florida Gulf Coast University.[31] Ben Hill Griffin Parkway was completed by 1997 in conjunction with the opening of the university, as it was the main access road.
Treeline Avenue, which originally was a short local road off Daniels Parkway, was extended south and connected to Ben Hill Griffin Parkway in early 2005 in conjunction with the opening of the current terminal at Southwest Florida International Airport. Treeline Avenue was later extended to Colonial Boulevard in 2006.

County Road 887[edit]
Location | Bonita Springs[1] |
---|---|
Length | 5.3 mi[32] (8.5 km) |
County Road 887 is the former designation for Old 41 Road from the Collier County line north through Bonita Springs to US 41.
The road was originally a routing of Tamiami Trail (US 41) through Downtown Bonita Springs. After US 41 was rerouted to its present alignment in 1976, the former route was redesignated SR 887.[4] SR 887 was turned over to county control in both Lee and Collier Counties in the early 1980s. Bonita Springs became an incorporated city in 1999, and all of CR 887 in Lee County is now controlled by the City of Bonita Springs.[1] While the designation has been largely decommissioned in Lee County, the CR 887 designation is still signed in Collier County.
The SR 887 designation has since been reused for the Port Miami Tunnel since its opening on August 3, 2014.[33]
