Lane, the American subsidiary of Webuild Group, has secured a $299m contract to undertake the expansion of the Seminole Expressway/state road (SR) 417 in Florida, US.
The project has been commissioned by Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, a division of the Florida Department of Transportation.
This move strengthens Webuild’s presence via Lane in the US, which is the company’s second-largest foreign market in terms of revenue after Australia.
The project involves the design and construction of expansion works for a six-mile section of the Seminole Expressway/SR 417 in Seminole County.
The roadway, which is part of Orlando’s eastern ring road, will be expanded from four to eight lanes, extending from the Orange County border to north of SR 434.
