CHARLOTTE, NC – The Lane Construction Corporation has won a $190 million contract to build the Interstate 4 (I-4) at State Road (SR) 33 Interchange in Polk County, FL. This latest contract for the U.S. subsidiary of Webuild Group further reinforces Florida as a key market for the company.
The I-4 interchange at SR 33 in the City of Lakeland features the reconstruction of the existing interchange to accommodate increased traffic in this area, as well as a future rail corridor in the median of I-4. The interchange is a simple diamond design with multi-lane on- and off-ramps, and two unsignalized ramp terminals which will be metered by round-a-bouts. In addition to the reconstruction of I-4 and the interchange, this project also widens five miles of SR 33 to facilitate mobility and accommodate recent development in this area. Utility relocations, signage, signalization, ITS, lighting, and pavement markings are also included, as well as two bridges to accommodate animal crossings.
Once completed, the project will improve overall traffic flow and safety of the roadway and increase the bridge clearance at the interchange. It will also improve the safety of wildlife with the creation of wildlife crossings both under and over the busy roadways, thereby limiting the chances for vehicular collisions.
Other projects Lane is working on in the state include the Turnpike Mainline Widening from Minneola Interchange to O’Brien Road in Lake County; the SR 417 Widening from Aloma Ave. to SR 434 in Seminole County; the I-275/SR 60 Westshore Interchange in Tampa; I-4/I-275 Downtown Interchange in Tampa; I-4 at Sand Lake Road Interchange in Orlando; I-4 at SR 535 Interchange in Orlando; and Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City. With each project, Lane continues to help build a safer and more connected Florida.
