Turnpike Mainline / I-595 Interchange Public Private Partnership

WGI was the owner’s representative for this complex P3 project that reconstructed several of the Florida Turnpike/I-595 interchange ramps to improve operational characteristics and accommodate future reversible lanes between SR 91 and I-595. This system’s interchange consists of a series of multilevel directional ramps and serves thousands of Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise (FTE) customers daily. Turnpike mainline roadway improvements included in this project extend from north of the Griffin Road interchange to south of Peters Road. Auxiliary lanes, a new southbound exit to Griffin Road, and accommodations for future reversible lanes to/from I-595 are all critical components.

WGI was the lead designer for roadway, drainage, utility coordination, environmental permitting, agency coordination, signing and pavement marking, survey, subsurface utility engineering and right-of-way mapping. The project was combined with a number of improvements planned on I-595 as part of a Public Private Partnership (P3) Design-Build project facilitated by FDOT District 4. WGI was retained by FTE to assist as the owner’s representative for all improvements in the vicinity of Florida’s Turnpike. Alternative Delivery.
