Construction of I-4 Pedestrian Bridge in Maitland ContinuesAs part of the I-4 Ultimate project, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is constructing a newly-designed pedestrian bridge over Interstate 4 (I-4) in Maitland.
The bridge connects existing sidewalks along Wymore Road and Lake Destiny Road, providing a safe 12-foot-wide walkway over the interstate. Benches and bike racks on both sides of the bridge give bicyclists and pedestrians space to rest overlooking the interstate.
The new design is accentuated by a blue wave of fencing and white letters spelling out Maitland, greeting eastbound I-4 motorists. A Maitland sign will also be constructed on the westbound Maitland Boulevard bridge facing westbound I-4 traffic. The letters will be backlit at night.
Mid-span pylons stretch 45 feet into the sky highlighted by inlaid color-changing led rings and topped by glass lanterns. City of Maitland seals facing I-4 will be featured at the end of the walkways to the bridge and robust landscaping give prominence to this signature gateway.
This newly modified design significantly mitigates motorist delays by reducing the number of lane and road closures. It also has less of an impact to the construction schedule.
The bridge is anticipated to be complete in 2021. Please visit i4ultimate.com/MaitlandBridge to view additional renderings of the final design.
PROJECT INFOThe $2.3 billion I-4 Ultimate project is reconstructing 21 miles of interstate from west of Kirkman Road to east of State Road 434 in Longwood. For more information about I-4 Ultimate, contact David Parks, I-4 Ultimate Community Outreach Specialist, at 844-ULT-INFO (844-858-4636) or [email protected].
The Maitland pedestrian bridge was redesigned to reduce motorist delays while retaining visually appealing aesthetics. Construction on the newly-designed bridge is scheduled to begin in 2019.
The Maitland pedestrian bridge will be comprised of an enclosed white box truss structure with aesthetic lighting and lettering. Inviting areas for pedestrians and bicyclists to rest will be situated near the pedestrian bridge approaches.
