Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently presided over the groundbreaking ceremony for the reconstruction of the I-95 interchange at U.S. 1 in Ormond Beach, Volusia County—one of the oldest interchanges in Florida’s state highway system. This critical infrastructure initiative, part of the Moving Florida Forward program, has been advanced by a full year ahead of schedule through the application of innovative construction methodologies developed exclusively by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
Originally slated for a 2027 construction start, the project has been accelerated 15 to 20 years ahead of its original timeline and fully funded under the Moving Florida Forward initiative. The accelerated delivery is enabled by FDOT’s proprietary Modified Phased Design-Build approach, which integrates best practices from established project delivery methods to optimize resource allocation, reduce costs, and expedite construction timelines.
The expedited schedule will deliver measurable improvements in safety and traffic operations at an earlier date. The redesigned interchange will incorporate three new bridges and reconfigured loop ramps along I-95, enhancing access and egress for motorists. Extended northbound off-ramps and southbound on-ramps will provide additional deceleration and acceleration distances, while both I-95 off-ramps will be widened to increase capacity and safety. Additionally, a one-mile segment of U.S. 1 will be expanded to six lanes.
Upon completion, the interchange will serve as a distinctive gateway to Ormond Beach, featuring architectural elements that reflect the local community while supporting regional economic development and growth.
