BARTOW, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced construction plans on I-4 to relieve congestion on roadways.
The plan includes adding a new express lane on I-4 in Hillsborough County and building a new truck parking facility along I-4 corridor in Polk County.
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.
The new 100-space truck parking facility in Polk County will be located at the Polk Parkway and I-4 interchange.
“Through our Moving Florida Forward initiative, we are making record infrastructure investments and completing projects ahead of schedule to meet the needs of our growing state,” said DeSantis.
