See the detour maps and detailed detour information below.

Detour for Westbound I-4 Entrance Ramp from Sand Lake Road

Motorists on Sand Lake Road who wish to access westbound I-4 should travel north on Turkey Lake Road and turn right onto eastbound Hollywood Way. Drivers will then turn right onto Adventure Way and proceed south to the westbound I-4 entrance ramp.

Detour for Eastbound I-4 Exit Ramp to Sand Lake Road

During the ramp closure, motorists traveling on eastbound I-4 who wish to access Sand Lake Road (Exit 74A) will continue east and take Exit 75A at Universal Boulevard. Drivers will then turn right onto southbound Universal Boulevard and proceed to Sand Lake Road.

Motorists should follow all posted detour signs. Construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

This work is part of the improvement project at the I-4 and Sand Lake Road interchange. Crews are reconstructing the interchange as a diverging diamond interchange (DDI). The project is reconfiguring and lengthening ramps at the interchange and improving capacity on Sand Lake Road and Turkey Lake Road. A new loop ramp will replace the existing left turns from westbound Sand Lake Road to southbound Turkey Lake Road. Upon completion, motorists will also be able to bypass Sand Lake Road and exit I-4 directly to Turkey Lake Road on the new ramp system.

In addition, the project includes reconstructing the I-4 general use lanes from the end of the I-4 Ultimate project near Kirkman Road (S.R. 435) to west of Sand Lake Road. Crews are constructing two barrier-separated westbound I-4 Express lanes from the existing express lanes near Kirkman Road to west of Sand Lake Road. These lanes will transition to a single, buffer-separated express lane in the westbound direction from west of Sand Lake Road and tie in just west of Central Florida Parkway. This express lane extension will be constructed in three separate projects, with the finished lane stretching from its current endpoint near Kirkman Road to west of S.R. 536.

Construction on the project began in spring 2023 and is expected to be fully completed in 2027.
