On March 3, 2009, FDOT signed a public-private partnership (P3) agreement with I-595 Express, LLC , a subsidiary created by ACS Infrastructure Development, who will serve as the concessionaire to design, build, finance, operate and maintain (D/B/F/O/M) the I-595 Corridor Improvements Project through the 35-year agreement term. On June 15, 2009, construction activities were initiated for the New River Greenway, and on July 31, responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the corridor from west of 136th Avenue to east of S.R. 7 was transferred to the concessionaire.  Click here to view information on I-595 Express, LLC's Incident Response measures.

Current Activities
Significant progress has been made on design, field survey, geotechnical investigation and utility coordination/relocation activities. Conceptual permits are being modified as necessary and separated into individual construction permits to match the construction segmentation and sequencing of the project. Construction continues on the North New River Greenway path and pedestrian bridges west of University Drive, as well as the erection of columns and installation of panels for Sound Barrier 3 (SB 3) north of the Greenway between Hiatus Road and Nob Hill Road.

Upcoming Activities
Major construction activities involving roadway and bridge construction are anticipated to commence by February 2010 and are scheduled for completion in Spring 2014. I-595 improvements centered around Pine Island Road will be the first work zone under construction.
