History

In the 1960s it was becoming apparent that
limited access two-lane expressway
, the "Everglades Parkway" (the original name of the road that became better known as “Alligator Alley”). On January 15, 1969, the highway was completed, and the State Road 84 designation and signs were placed along the entire length of the road (101 miles or 162.54 kilometres) from Naples to Fort Lauderdale.
Two decades later, the southern extension of Interstate 75 from
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport
), and the eastbound lanes of SR 84 were shifted southward to accommodate the new expressway that runs down what once was a large grassy median with limited cross-overs/turnarounds for SR 84. I-595 was opened to traffic in the mid-1980s.
When four-laning of Alligator Alley was completed to Interstate highway and environmental standards (several tunnels were constructed at various points under the road for the
SR 93
. This created the disconnection of SR 84 that exists to the present day.
