Project Overview

The $2.9 billion I-4 Ultimate project will reconstruct and widen 21 miles of I-4 running through metropolitan Orlando, Florida. The project extends from Kirkman Road in Orange County to the south through downtown Orlando to State Road 434 in Seminole County. The existing highway lanes will be fully reconstructed and four new express lanes will be added in the median. Motorists who choose to use the express lanes will be required to pay a toll that will vary depending on the amount of traffic in order to maintain speeds of at least 50 miles per hour during peak travel periods.

Access to the express lanes will be provided from five crossover zones and by direct connector ramps at major interchanges. The project will also include the reconstruction of 15 major interchanges, the construction of 53 new bridges, and the widening or reconstruction of 87 existing bridges. The I-4 Ultimate will also feature numerous aesthetic elements, including a signature pedestrian bridge, accent lighting, fountains, and sculptures.
