Superior Construction Performs Emergency Repairs After I-4 Suffers Hurricane Milton Damage
ORLANDO, Fla. (November 7, 2024) — Infrastructure contractor Superior Construction has again been called upon to perform emergency repairs on Florida’s highway system after a severe hurricane.
At the direction of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Superior Construction mobilized crews to repair two portions of I-4 near Orlando that were damaged by Hurricane Milton in early October. This after FDOT tapped Superior in 2022 to repair the Sanibel Causeway, which was damaged when Hurricane Ian hit Florida’s southwestern coast.
Workers made various ramp repairs at the I-4/World Drive interchange after seven sections of the embankment slope around the ramps were washed away. Superior also replaced guardrails, stabilized the eroded slopes and installed sod to prevent future erosion.
Just north of the World Drive interchange, Superior crews restored the concrete slope protection at the I-4/State Road 536 interchange. In addition, they sodded the area and filled in washouts at the overpass.
Both projects were completed within a week.
