Impact of Road Projects Hillsborough County Operational improvements at junction of I-4 and I-75 Polk County CSX RR Bridge in Lakeland Interchanges at SR33, SR559, SR557, US27 Osceola, Orange, Seminole, and Volusia Counties See following slides on the I-4 Ultimate and Beyond the Ultimate projects Bottom Line projects have a temporary impact to trucking operations, but will provide a better operating environment for freight trucking upon completion.

Challenges Continued urban growth for industry and population Impact of current and further growth in the theme parks and entertainment regions Improvements needed to make the corridor physically feasible for the addition of a rail line Funding - optimize existing infrastructure thru operational improvements to save $ for larger capacity improvements Politics Environmental impact and obstacles Improvements at interchanges w/large concentration of DCs or private truck stops
Opportunities Implementation of Traffic Management Systems Opportunity for the addition of a rail corridor Maintain some semblance of separation between the major communities Orlando, Lakeland, Tampa Concentrate major freight activities in select areas to make the best investment decisions for freight-related infrastructure improvements Ways to optimize existing infrastructure thru operational improvements to save $
Closing I-4 Corridor will remain a series of hot spots for heavy freight activity at almost every interchange Challenges to maintain optimum traffic flow will continue New technologies will have an impact Autonomous vehicles Traffic Management Systems Possibility remains for it to become a multimodal corridor with the addition of rail
