Welcome to the website for iROX, the I-75 design/build/finance project making history in Southwest Florida.  The project now stands eight months ahead of schedule with a completion date of May 2010. Results of construction are spectacular. Crews have opened all six of the northbound and southbound lanes stretching over 30 miles. Construction is complete at 24 bridges slated for reconstruction or replacement. Drainage work is complete for the entire project. Crews have built all six planned noise walls. 

A unique partnership is transforming this vital transportation corridor in a little more than three years. The Florida Department of Transportation along with the joint venture of ACCI/API, the design firm of HDR and Metric Engineering embraced an innovative construction concept called design/build/finance (DBF) to get this job moving.

DBF makes iROX extraordinary on many levels. First, its size...iROX expands 30 miles of I-75 to six lanes. Second, the time...iROX cuts five years from the timetable for a job this size. Third, flexibility...the ability to begin work on the project while engineers design other segments.
