I 4 Express News Today

FDOT announced updates to “Moving Florida Forward,” what Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed in January and later saw approved by the state Legislature as a way to ease traffic congestion in Central Florida by injecting $4 billion from the General Revenue Surplus into local infrastructure projects.

The Florida Department of Transportation confirmed to News 6 the Express lanes in the center of Interstate 4 now have wrong-way vehicle detection systems installed at every direct-connect ramp.

The speed limit on the majority of the 21-mile stretch of the express lanes is 60 mph.

Traffic on I-4 through Orlando should flow much smoother very soon, as the I-4 Express expansion will finally open after 7 years in the making.

The maximum price to travel all 21 miles of the I-4 express lanes comes out to more than local toll roads.
