The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is implementing Phase 3 of the I-95 Express Lanes continuing 29 miles north from Stirling Rd. in Broward County to Linton Blvd. in Palm Beach County.

The I-95 Express is part of a regional network of express lanes that will provide a safe, efficient, and reliable transportation alternative to drivers traveling throughout South Florida. This notice characterizes an ongoing history of success in South Florida for ACS, as this will be the third consecutive segment on I-95 that PRINCE has been awarded. PRINCE is nearly complete with I-95 Segment 3A-2 and has started construction on Segment 3B-1. All three I-95 Express contracts are collectively valued at €366 million. Additionally PRINCE is also currently constructing the SR 821 (HEFT) widening project from the Florida Turnpike to south of Miramar Parkway, in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, worth €128 million.
