Construction began in 2015 and completed in 2022.
John Laing has a 100 per cent shareholding in the project. The I-4 Ultimate Project reduces congestion and provides additional capacity along a busy 21-mile section of Interstate 4 that also serves as a major tourist route across central Florida. The project consists of the design, build, finance, maintenance and operation of the new section of Interstate 4 over a 40-year concession. Construction commenced in 2015 and reached completion in 2022.
The project included reconstructing 15 major interchanges, constructing more than 145 bridges, adding four variable priced toll Express Lanes, and completely rebuilding general use lanes.
The Florida Department of Transportation will administer all-electronic tolling for the managed routes.
The project has excellent sustainability and environmental credentials.
Nearly all of the concrete and steel removed from the old road and bridges is being recycled, and recycled materials are being used wherever practical in new construction.
