Interstate-4

I am a 132.30-mile (212.91 km) intrastate Interstate Highway located entirely within the state of Florida, United States. I go from my friend I-275 in Tampa, Florida to my other friend I-95 at Daytona Beach, Florida. I also have the Florida Department of Transportation designation of State Road 400, but only a small portion of me is 'signed' at the east end.I am one of Florida's first interstate segments to be constructed.The first section of me that was opened was between Plant City and Lakeland in 1959. In 1960/1961, the Howard Frankland Bridge opened to traffic, as well as the segment from 50th St in Tampa to Plant City. The stretch from Lake Monroe to Lake Helen also opened during that period. The segment from Lakeland to Orlando was complete by 1962. By the mid 1960s, several segments of me were already complete, including 'Malfunction Junction' in Tampa and parts of me through Orlando. The original western terminus was set in South Pasadena in the late 1960s, but this plan was rejected due to local opposition. As a result, I only went as far southwest as 9th St N in St. Petersburg.My entire interstate system was complete by the late 1960s. However, the western terminus was truncated to 'Malfunction Junction' in 1971 when my buddy I-75 was extended over the Frankland Bridge. Eventually, that stretch was again renamed to become part of I-275. The interchange with what is today Interstate 75 was constructed in the early 1980s.In the early/mid 1990s, several interchanges near Kissimmee were constructed/upgraded to accommodate increasing traffic going to and from Walt Disney World. However, my main lanes were not widened in the process. Around the same time, the Southern Connector was extended to me. The I-4/I-275 interchange (Malfunction Junction) was rebuilt in 2004 and 2005, and right now I am under staged renovations to expand it from four to six lanes (with eight lanes in certain segments). Some of this work is complete.Eventually, I will be widened again to a total of at least ten lanes (five in each direction). Studies for this project are already underway and construction should commence sometime in the 2010s. Completion of the project should be around 2020.TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME!!!
