PROJECT 1
Project 1 in the Moving I-4 Forward Program focuses on roadway safety and mobility as it is part of the regional network of emergency evacuation routes. The final road configuration will be three general-use lanes and two new express lanes in each direction. The project will maintain existing access to State Road (S.R.) 417 from the general-use lanes on Interstate 4 (I-4). Additionally, new direct connectors, or ramps, will connect the S.R. 417 toll to the Interstate-4 (I-4) express lanes. Interchange upgrades will also include improving the existing infrastructure for safer driving conditions as well as replacing toll plazas on S.R. 417 to increase traffic flow.
Project 1 and Project 2 are expected to be under construction at the same time.
The Moving I-4 Forward Program will consist of five main projects plus an initial phase called the Accelerated Start that includes two additional components to jump-start future construction.
