Lane will be responsible for Section 8, which includes 2.63 miles from Orange Blvd. to east of Rinehart Rd., as well as the toll road’s interchange at Interstate 4 that will connect with State Road 417.
The entire 25-mile project — a collaboration between the Florida Department of Transportation, Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, and the Central Florida Expressway Authority — includes a new toll road through Orange, Seminole, and Lake counties with approximately $500 million worth of non-toll road improvements.
Construction is expected to be completed by 2022.
