GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Financial Management Number: 242592-4-32-01-02

Project Description: This project proposes to reconstruct and widen State Road (S.R.) 400/Interstate 4 (I-4) as part of the I-4 Beyond the Ultimate (BtU) concept. The project involves the build-out of the interstate to its ultimate condition from one mile east of S.R. 434 to east of U.S. 17-92 in Seminole County, Florida. This project is also referred to as Segment 3 of the BtU.

The proposed improvements include widening the existing six-lane divided interstate to a 10-lane divided urban interstate. The design proposes the addition of two new express lanes in each direction, with three general-use lanes in each direction for use by all drivers. The four express lanes will be tolled with variable pricing, based on congestion. A barrier wall between the adjacent shoulders will separate the express lanes from the general-use lanes. One auxiliary lane will be provided in some areas in both directions.

Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability or family status. Persons wishing to express their concerns relative to FDOT compliance with Title VI may do so by contacting Jennifer Smith, FDOT District Five Title VI Coordinator, by phone at [phone] or via email at [e-mail].
