• Third southbound Florida’s Turnpike travel lane between Hancock Road and U.S. 27 delivered 1,020 days ahead of schedule
• Achievement made possible by fast-tracked schedule, parallel activities, extended shifts, and modular work sites 
• Work completed along an approximately 11-kilometre highly trafficked corridor in heart of Florida

MILAN, February 17, 2026 – In Central Florida, where the highway network must accommodate more than 100 million visitors every year, Lane (Webuild Group) has opened to traffic 11 kilometres of new lanes as part of the Florida’s Turnpike widening project – almost three years (1,020 days) ahead of schedule.

The project’s efficiency stems from a strategic reorganisation of activities that Lane is increasingly applying across its ongoing works. It has shifted from a traditional sequential construction approach to adopt a modular and parallel team-management model that reduces timelines while ensuring supply flows through mobile logistics hubs. 

The Florida’s Turnpike project follows other early deliveries, such as the I-275 Section 7 Phase 1 project in Tampa, demonstrating the execution capability that Lane has deployed for more than a century. It is refining this capability to serve the needs of major U.S. public institutions, clients, and communities. 

 In addition to the new lanes between the Minneola Interchange and O’Brien Road, the project introduced new access ramps at U.S. 27 to ease congestion during peak hours and upgraded safety and drainage systems – an essential element for enhancing the road network’s resilience against the extreme weather typical of the area. 

For the Webuild Group, the results achieved in Florida reinforce the strategic importance of the United States, where the Group’s work ranges from North Carolina’s I-85 from Main Street to N.C. 273 to the modernisation of the Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana, a U.S. Naval Force air base in Virginia. In Florida, projects include the Seminole Expressway/State Road (SR) 417, key interchange upgrades between Interstate 4 (I-4) and Sand Lake Road and between I-4 and SR 535 in Orange County, and construction on the Westshore Interchange, the largest Florida Department of Transportation initiative in the Tampa Bay area.
