The FDOT is constructing the new I-4 Truck Parking Facility, along with making roadway and pedestrian improvements to County Line Road over the interstate in Hillsborough County.

The new I-4 Truck Parking Facility is being built on a 49-acre FDOT-owned site and will provide 160 truck parking spaces.

The new facility will be integrated into Florida’s Truck Parking Availability System (TPAS) to provide drivers with real-time parking availability information via a mobile application and dynamic roadside signs.

The project includes other infrastructure improvements for trucks accessing the I-4 Truck Parking Facility, as well as traffic entering and exiting I-4 at County Line Road.

Improvements include:

• Replacing the traffic signal and providing dual right and left turn lanes from the eastbound I-4 exit ramp onto County Line Road.
• Adding a traffic signal and providing dual right and left turn lanes from the westbound I-4 exit ramp onto County Line Road.
• Reducing the radii and adding truck aprons to accommodate trucks.
• Modifying traffic signals and reconfiguring travel lanes along County Line Road to reduce truck delays and improve mobility.
• Installing new signage and pavement markings, highway lighting, and ITS systems.

Construction activities are expected to finish in the fall of 2026.

What is design-build? Design-build is a method of project delivery in which one entity - the design-build team - works under a single contract with the FDOT (or any owner) to fully design and construct a project.  The contract work covers from initial design through construction completion.  This contract type typically allows for faster construction of a project as design and construction can be on-going simultaneously.
