Segment 1B of the project encompasses three bustling interchanges that serve as the gateway to nearby attractions. Motorists traveling on this nearly 6-mile stretch have multiple access points to and from the Managed Lanes. They also have the benefit of extended collector-distributor roads adjacent to both directions of Interstate 4 (I-4), which spaces out traffic entering or exiting I-4. The general use lanes along this segment will be elevated above the Managed Lanes and collector-distributor roads.

Segment 1B features the construction, widening and/or replacement of 41 bridges. In addition to 12 existing ponds, crews will build nine new ponds.
