Italian construction company Group’s US subsidiary Lane has secured a $190m contract to construct a highway interchange between Interstate 4 (I-4) and State Road 33 (SR 33) in Polk County, Florida.
The Florida Department of Transportation awarded the contract to Lane, which will see the reconstruction of the existing interchange to support increased traffic and the integration of a future rail corridor.
The interchange redesign aims to enhance road safety through multilane ramps and roundabouts, reducing transit times at the crossing.
Additionally, the project includes the widening of a five-mile stretch of SR 33, improved signage and signalisation, intelligent transportation systems, and lighting.
Two new bridges will be constructed to facilitate animal crossings and improve overall safety.
This project reflects Lane’s growing presence in North America, a strategic market that accounts for 13% of Webuild’s total revenue as of 30 June 2024.
