Ajax Paving Industries Inc. embarks on a three-year “I-75 Mega Project,” the largest highway project in Florida’s history, and the road crews are up to the task.

The project is the biggest in the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) history, and is also the largest project Anderson Columbia has worked on. For more information on each segment of the project.
