I-4 Mobility Partners Chosen for I-4 Ultimate Express Lanes Project

Selection begins process to achieve commercial and financial close

The “I-4 Mobility Partners” team was selected by the Florida Department of Transportation as the Best Value Proposer for the I-4 Ultimate Project. This public-private partnership project includes design, build, finance, operations and maintenance responsibilities. The selection enables Orlando-based I-4 Mobility Partners to begin the process to achieve the financial close of the project.

I-4 Mobility Partners is comprised of Skanska and John Laing for equity investment and financing; Skanska, Granite and Lane for construction; HDR and Jacobs for design; and Infrastructure Corporation of America for operations and maintenance.

“In partnership with Florida DOT, our world-class team will deliver the best value solution to the Orlando region’s residents and businesses, and to the millions of international visitors to this globally popular destination,” said Karl Reichelt, Executive Vice President of Skanska Infrastructure Development. “Safety will be improved, and the corridor will enable efficient travel in a sustainably and economically built corridor that uniquely reflects Central Florida in its design.”

Derek Potts, Managing Director for Primary Investments at John Laing, said: "This is an important milestone in the delivery of improvements to the I-4 through a public private-partnership. We hope I-4 will become a vehicle for demonstrating the collaboration between the public and the private sector in order to deliver infrastructure improvements in the most effective way."

The project includes reconstructing 15 major interchanges; constructing more than 145 bridges; adding four variable priced toll Express Lanes in the median; and completely rebuilding general use lanes along the entire corridor.

I-4 Ultimate is designed to improve safety and mobility through the creation of Express Lanes in 21 miles of Interstate 4 from west of Kirkman Road to east of State Road 434. Construction is expected to start in early 2015, with estimated completion in 2021, and a contract term of 40 years. Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise will administer free-flow tolling via its SunPass program. The project is expected to be financed using equity, debt and a loan as part of the U.S. DOT Transportation Investment and Financing Innovation Act (TIFIA).
