The Results
The Suncoast Parkway 2, Phase 2A project provides a critical transportation link supporting Florida’s growth in the north-central region. By self-performing major elements such as grading, bridge construction, and MSE wall installation, Superior maximized efficiency, leveraged in-house expertise, and accelerated delivery — all while upholding quality and meeting community expectations.
This project highlights the strength of collaboration between Superior Construction, the Florida Turnpike Enterprise, and partners such as Volkert. The success of Phase 2A established a strong foundation for future work, including Suncoast Parkway 2, Phase 3A, which began construction in August 2025.
