Hubbard Construction to extend I-95 express lanes

23 February 2011 - New contracts - United States of America

The Florida Department of Transportation has appointed Hubbard Construction (Eurovia) to design and build a 13-mile extension (some 21 km) to the toll express lanes on the I-95 in Miami.

One to two lanes will be created on the central reservation for each traffic direction, between the Golden Glades interchange and Broward Boulevard (Broward County). They will be equipped with a system that automatically adjusts toll rates as a function of traffic density; it is expected they will be used by 53,000 vehicles a day. The project also includes the renovation of the Ives Dairy Road interchange.

Worth $84m (€64m), the contract was signed in January. The works, starting in the course of 2011, are scheduled for completion in late 2013.
