Motorists should be advised that a full closure of the eastbound Interstate 4 (I-4) exit ramp to U.S. 17-92, Exit 104, is scheduled to take place overnight on Thursday, August 22.
The closure is scheduled to start as soon as 10 p.m. and is expected to reopen by 6 a.m. Friday, August 23. This closure is necessary for traffic signal installation and is part of the I-4 improvements project at the I-4 and U.S. 17-92 interchange.
Motorists heading east on I-4 are directed to take Exit 101C, turning right onto State Road (S.R.) 46. Drivers will head east on S.R. 46 to County Road (C.R.) 15/Monroe Road and turn left, proceeding north to U.S. 17-92/Seminole Boulevard. Motorists heading east on I-4 can also take Exit 108 and turn right onto Dirksen Drive, proceeding west to U.S. 17-92.
The I-4 and U.S. 17-92 interchange improvements project in Seminole County is expected to increase safety by improving the sight distance for motorists, upgrading crosswalks for pedestrians and bicyclists, and reducing the speed limit on U.S. 17-92 from 50 mph to 35 mph. The improvements will include adding a pedestrian-activated crossing signal at the end of the eastbound I‑4 exit ramp.
Additionally, an auxiliary lane will be added on eastbound U.S. 17-92 between the westbound I‑4 exit ramp and Monroe Road. A second right turn lane will be added to U.S. 17-92 when driving east to continue south on U.S. 17-92/Monroe Road. The dual right-turn-only lanes will stop at the signalized intersection with Seminole Boulevard, replacing the existing free-flow right turn. A right turn lane will be added from southbound U.S. 17-92/Monroe Road to the eastbound I‑4 entrance ramp, and a left turn lane will be added from westbound Seminole Boulevard to U.S. 17-92/Monroe Road to drive south.
Construction started in fall 2023 and is expected to be complete by late 2024.
