The I-4 Ultimate Improvement Project in central Florida has been awarded Envision Platinum recognition from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) for its sustainability efforts in the environmental, social and economic impact on the community and the 21-mile I-4 reconstruction project.

I-4 Mobility Partners (I-4MP), the public-private partnership (P3) rebuilding Interstate 4 through Central Florida, received the award for its ongoing programs to minimise environmental impacts, while also facilitating the use of alternative transportation by integrating rail projects and improving pedestrian crossings and connections with bike trails.

The project involves the reconstruction of 21 miles of roadway infrastructure and is expected to transform the region by better connecting communities, improving the local economy and enhancing liveability for residents.

One of the most important benefits will be the improvement of traffic flow by easing congestion with the addition of four new variable toll express lanes and the reconstruction of 15 major interchanges, which includes widening 13 bridges, replacing 74 bridges and adding 53 new bridges, along with a pedestrian overpass and a pedestrian bridge. When complete, the project will provide a visually appealing signature corridor with bold landscaping, accent lighting, enhanced bridge architecture and other aesthetic features.
