德桑蒂斯开通I-95奥斯陆路互通:1亿美元工程提前一年完工

印第安河县——佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯10月5日在印第安河县宣布,95号州际公路(I-95)奥斯陆路互通正式通车。这一耗资1亿美元的工程原定2027年春季完工,如今提前一年交付。
德桑蒂斯当天与州交通厅厅长贾里德·珀杜(Jared Perdue)一同出席了通车仪式。州长说:“佛罗里达已经成为经济强州,我们在道路建设上的投资是历史上最大的。”他表示,州交通厅通过提速施工,让一批项目大幅提前,有的甚至提前了15年。
工程于2023年8月14日开工。据州政府介绍,新互通将为I-95带来关键的新连接,缩短通勤时间、方便应急车辆通行,预计可将应急响应时间缩短一半以上。项目用地内还设有地鼠龟(gopher tortoise)迁地保护区,为全州首创。
印第安河县警长埃里克·弗劳尔斯、州参议员艾琳·格拉尔、州众议员罗伯特·布拉克特等多位地方官员出席了仪式。州政府表示,萨拉索塔县的里弗路拓宽工程也已提前半年完工。

DeSantis Opens I-95 Interchange at Oslo Road: $100 Million Project Finishes a Year Early
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced Oct. 5 the opening of the new Interstate 95 interchange at Oslo Road in Indian River County. The $100 million project was originally scheduled for completion in spring 2027 and opened a year ahead of schedule.
DeSantis appeared with Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Jared Perdue at the opening. "We've become an economic powerhouse," DeSantis said. "We've done the biggest investment in road construction in Florida's history." He credited FDOT with speeding up construction, moving many projects well ahead of schedule — some by 15 years.
Construction began Aug. 14, 2023. The state said the new interchange brings critical new connections to I-95, shortening commutes and aiding emergency vehicles, with emergency response times expected to drop by more than 50 percent. The project also includes a gopher tortoise relocation site on the rights of way — the first of its kind in the state.
Indian River County Sheriff Eric Flowers, state Sen. Erin Grall, state Rep. Robert Brackett and other local officials attended. The state said Sarasota County's River Road widening also finished six months early.
