Addressing the Growth
Building a better I-4 for the future

As Florida continues to experience rapid growth, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is actively addressing the state’s evolving infrastructure needs. Through the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative, FDOT is accelerating a series of projects in Central Florida to add two new Express Lanes in each direction along Interstate 4 (I-4) from west of U.S. 27 in Polk County to east of World Center Drive, State Road (S.R.) 536 in Orange County.

Known as the “Moving I-4 Forward,” these projects will deliver much-needed congestion relief 10 to 20 years ahead of the original schedule, made possible by the bold vision of Governor Ron DeSantis and the support of the Florida Legislature.

  • Improve mobility by reducing congestion.
  • Increase safety and connectivity.
  • Enhance the quality of life for the community.
  • Strengthen resilient infrastructure for future growth.
Bringing Relief Fast
New lanes added by late 2025

Through additional innovative efforts, FDOT is also accelerating the construction of two new congestion relief lanes—one in each direction between U.S. 27 and east of World Drive—so that Floridians and tourists who use the I-4 corridor can experience immediate relief from congestion by the end of 2025.

“Thanks to Governor DeSantis’ leadership and forward-thinking approach, we were empowered to look at even more ways to expedite these critical infrastructure improvements. Moving Florida Forward was already poised to benefit Floridians, and with the re-sequencing of the delivery for these auxiliary lanes, drivers will start to see relief by the end of 2025 at one of most congested areas in the state.”
