The Lane Construction Corporation of the Salini Impregilo Group has won a $253-million contract in Florida to design and a section of the Wekiva Parkway in Seminole County north of Orlando, the latest recognition of Lane’s leadership in road and highway work in the United States.

Lane, which has a long presence in Florida, will design and build 2.63 miles of a limited access toll road from Orange Boulevard to east of Rinehart Road, including the new Wekiva Parkway interchange at I-4 that will connect with SR 417. The project is part of the 25-mile tolled Wekiva Parkway that will provide travel alternatives and relieve other area roads of traffic congestion between the counties of Orange, Lake, and Seminole. Construction is to begin in early 2019 and end in 2022.
