Mica Unveils Major Transportation Bill Tuesday

Jan. 27, 2012 | WMFE - Congressman John Mica says he will unveil next Tuesday a major 5 year transportation bill to allow more public private partnerships to expand the capacity of Interstate Highways.

 Locally Mica, who chairs the U.S. House Transportation Committee, says that means creating new tolled lanes on Interstate 4.

"What I'd like to do is double the  amount of lanes we will have, express lanes that we will have in the center of I-4 going not just up in the Seminole county but into Volusia county. We're working on that now."

Mica made the announcement at this morning's/Friday's Sunrail Groundbreaking Ceremony in Altamonte Springs.

Expanding lane and toll capacity is also a major goal for the Florida Department of Transportation.
