If you have to take I-4, there will be a good chance you will get stuck in traffic. It gets very congested at all times but even more during rush hour. There has been construction going on for years to help with some congestion, but that construction sometimes makes more congestion while they’re working on it.

If you want to try out these express lanes, you will have five days until March 2 to use them free of charge. They want drivers to get comfortable with them and see how they work. This way, you can see if it will make a difference in your travel time and is worth the extra money.

 

It was said in a FDOT statement: “This offer will allow motorists a first-hand look to learn potential routes, identify key signage, and not worry about making mistakes navigating the new roadway.”

 

The entire travel length of I-4 Express will cost $3.50 Eastbound and $3.00 Westbound during the introductory period. This rate will adjust based on traffic volume and congestion.
