Motorists should be advised that the Daryl Carter Parkway overpass at Interstate 4 (I-4) will close overnight on Wednesday, February 5, and Thursday, February 6, for mast arm installation and roadway work. The overpass closure is scheduled to start as early as 8 p.m. each night and is expected to reopen by 6 a.m. the following morning.

Motorists wishing to travel eastbound on the Daryl Carter Parkway overpass can head either north or south on Palm Parkway to bypass the closure. Those traveling north on Palm Parkway will turn right onto eastbound Central Florida Parkway, then turn right again onto Westwood Boulevard, heading southeast. From there, motorists will proceed to International Drive, turning right and heading south to access Daryl Carter Parkway. Motorists traveling south on Palm Parkway will turn left on Apopka-Vineland Road (State Road (S.R.) 535) and continue southeast. From there, motorists will turn left onto Vineland Avenue, where they will proceed north and then east, before turning left again onto northbound International Drive to return to Daryl Carter Parkway.

Motorists wishing to travel westbound on the Daryl Carter Parkway overpass can bypass the closure by heading either north or south on International Drive. Motorists traveling north on International Drive will turn left onto Westwood Boulevard to head northwest and continue until they turn left onto westbound Central Florida Parkway. Drivers will turn left again onto southbound Palm Parkway, continuing to Daryl Carter Parkway. Those traveling south on International Drive will turn right onto Vineland Avenue, heading west and then south to S.R. 535. After turning right onto westbound S.R. 535, motorists will turn right again onto northbound Palm Parkway, proceeding to Daryl Carter Parkway.

Please keep in mind that construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

This work is part of a larger construction project to transform the Daryl Carter Parkway overpass into a diverging diamond interchange (DDI). The project also includes improvements to I-4 from west of Central Florida Parkway to west of Daryl Carter Parkway. Crews are constructing a single, buffer-separated, westbound express lane from west of Central Florida Parkway to west of Daryl Carter Parkway. The finished express lane will extend from west of Sand Lake Road to west of S.R. 536 and will be constructed in three separate projects.

Construction on the project began in fall 2022 and is expected to be fully completed in summer 2025.
