Future I-4 Improvements at Sand Lake Road (S.R. 482)

As part of I-4 Beyond the Ultimate, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is designing Interstate 4 (I-4) interchange improvements at Sand Lake Road (State Road 482). The I-4 and Sand Lake Road design-build project includes:

  • Reconstructing I-4 general use lanes from west of Sand Lake Road to the end of the I-4 Ultimate project, west of Kirkman Road (State Road 435).
  • Reconstructing the Sand Lake Road interchange into a diverging diamond interchange with a loop ramp to Turkey Lake Road.
  • Constructing two westbound, barrier-separated, express lanes from west of Sand Lake Road to the existing express lanes near Kirkman Road. These will transition to a single westbound, buffer-separated, express lane from west of Sand Lake Road and tie in just west of Central Florida Parkway. This express lane will be constructed in three separate projects with the finished lane extending from west of Sand Lake Road to west of State Road 536.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) let this project as a design-build contract. The design for this project is ongoing. The final configuration of the interchange will be very similar to what is shown in the documents and videos below, but small refinements are anticipated. This page will be updated as more information becomes available.
