I-4 Beyond the Ultimate Improvements Accelerate in 2021

It’s been a busy 2021 calendar year for the I-4 Beyond the Ultimate program. Several improvement projects in Seminole County completed just as new work began in Osceola County.


 

May 2021

Crews completed milling and resurfacing of westbound I-4 travel lanes from U.S. 17-92 to State Road (S.R.) 46 and from County Road (C.R.) 46A to Lake Mary Boulevard, along with the interchange ramps at Lake Mary Boulevard, C.R. 46A, S.R. 46, and U.S. 17-92. The milling and resurfacing project began in summer 2020.

June 2021

Reconstruction of the E.E. Williamson Road overpass wrapped up. The new overpass includes 6-foot-wide bicycle lanes on the outside of both traffic lanes, a 6-foot-wide sidewalk on the south side, and a 10-foot-wide trail on the north side, which improves access to the Seminole Wekiva Trail. In addition, a new eastbound I-4 auxiliary lane from the I-4 Ultimate project to Lake Mary Boulevard — which began construction in 2019 — was completed and opened for use.


 

July 2021

Work on the I-4 and C.R. 532 interchange near ChampionsGate now underway. Construction of a new, innovative diverging diamond interchange will improve traffic flow through the area. Bike lanes and sidewalks along C.R. 532 will also improve cyclist and pedestrian connectivity and safety at the interchange. The work is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2022.


 

November 2021

In conjunction with the work on C.R. 532, construction on I-4 began in Osceola County. The improvements include adding an eastbound and a westbound I-4 auxiliary lane between the ramps of S.R. 429 and C.R. 532, and a new auxiliary lane on northbound S.R. 429 between I-4 and Sinclair Road. The project also includes milling and resurfacing along eastbound and westbound I-4 from the Polk/Osceola County line to west of S.R. 417, and milling and resurfacing along S.R. 429 between I-4 and Sinclair Road. Construction is anticipated to be completed by fall 2023.

2022 will be another important year, with new projects coming online for I-4 improvements in south Orange County. Sign up for the I-4 Beyond the Ultimate newsletter to learn about construction updates and project news.
