A consortium led by the international construction firm Skanska is finalizing a deal with the state for the so-called “ultimate” remake of Interstate 4 through downtown Orlando in what promises to be the largest public works project in Central Florida history.
The undertaking is expected to cost $2.3 billion, with a complex financial structure mixing tax money and private investment, and a construction schedule that features more than 11,000 tasks, according to an Orlando Sentinel review of the voluminous bid package of the Skanska-headed team called I-4 Mobility Partners.
