Initial efforts include a $20 billion investment to widen the Florida Turnpike, a project that is currently 55 percent complete. This initiative aims to expand the 320-mile mainline to ensure at least six lanes throughout, adding over 965 lane miles of capacity. The project also includes funding for service plaza amenities and improved truck parking. During the process, Governor Ron DeSantis suggested a proposal to eliminate tolls for Florida residents, though no formal plan has been established. Furthering these efforts, the state has allocated $14.4 billion to the Transportation Work Program for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. This budget includes $4.9 billion for highway construction and maintenance and $1.4 billion for resurfacing over 2,600 lane miles. Additionally, federal funding from the INFRA program has designated $85 million for adding lanes along approximately 20 miles of Interstate 4 in Florida. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-06: Florida allocates $14.4 billion for transportation infrastructure Florida is allocating $14.4 billion for its 2026-2027 transportation program, while federal INFRA grants are providing an additional $85 million for Interstate 4 lane expansions. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/florida-allocates-144-billion-for-transportation-infrastructure ### 2026-10-02: Florida invests $20B to widen Florida Turnpike Florida is investing over $20 billion to widen the Florida Turnpike and upgrade service plazas.
