TAMPA, FL — The Lane Construction Corporation, the U.S. subsidiary of Webuild Group, announces it has received final acceptance from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the I-275 Section 7 Phase 1 project in Tampa, Florida. The project marks a significant step forward in improving traffic flow, enhancing safety, and supporting economic growth in the region.
The I-275 Section 7 Phase 1 project was designed to alleviate congestion, improve connectivity, and provide a more efficient transportation corridor for commuters and businesses. Key enhancements include expanded lanes, improved on- and off-ramps, upgraded signage, and modernized roadway infrastructure to accommodate the region’s growing transportation demands.
The newly completed section of I-275 offers numerous benefits, including:
- Reduced traffic congestion: Additional lanes and improved roadway design helps ease rush-hour gridlock, allowing for smoother travel.
- Enhanced safety features: Upgraded lighting, better road markings, and modernized traffic signals improve visibility and reduce the risk of crashes.
- Economic growth: Improved connectivity supports local businesses and enhances access to key commercial hubs, boosting economic activity.
- Sustainable infrastructure: The project integrates environmentally friendly materials and designs to support long-term sustainability. Additionally, two emergency generators were installed to power FDOT access cameras at the intersection of two critical evacuation routes. These generators ensure continued monitoring during weather events should the local/regional power grid shut down.
