BARTOW, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced construction plans on I-4 to relieve congestion on roadways.

The governor said the Florida Department of Transportation will construct a 17-mile single expressway lane in both directions in Hillsborough County from I-75 to County Line Road. Construction is expected to begin in 2028.
