Florida Sets 2031 Finish for I‑4 Overhaul Serving Disney World
The plan adds capacity on a 14‑mile choke point to cut routine backups for tourists and commuters.
Overview
- FDOT confirmed Saturday that construction on the I‑4 corridor to Walt Disney World will continue through summer 2031.
- The work spans roughly 14 miles from west of U.S. 27 in Polk County to east of World Center Drive near Disney property.
- Plans call for two new express lanes in each direction along with new ramps and improved links to nearby highways.
- Drivers should expect construction zones, shifting traffic patterns, and periodic delays, leading many travelers to leave earlier or reroute their trips.
- Officials say they are applying lessons from the I‑4 Ultimate project to speed delivery as part of a $4 billion statewide effort responding to growth and heavy tourism.
