Motorists should be advised that the eastbound Interstate 4 (I-4) exit ramp to U.S. 17-92, Exit 104, will be closed overnight on Tuesday, November 26.
The closure is scheduled to start as soon as 10 p.m. and is expected to reopen by 6 a.m. the following morning. This closure is necessary for striping work on the I-4 and U.S. 17-92 interchange improvements project.
During the ramp closure, motorists heading east on I-4 who wish to access U.S. 17-92 will exit early at Exit 101D, turning right onto State Road (S.R.) 46. Drivers will proceed east on S.R. 46, then turn left onto County Road (C.R.) 15/Monroe Road, and continue north to U.S. 17-92/Seminole Boulevard. Alternatively, 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 enhance 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, crews will add an auxiliary lane on eastbound U.S. 17-92 between the westbound I‑4 exit ramp and Monroe Road. Crews will add a second right turn lane 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. Crews will add a right turn lane from southbound U.S. 17-92/Monroe Road to the eastbound I‑4 entrance ramp and a left turn lane from westbound Seminole Boulevard to U.S. 17-92/Monroe Road to drive south. Construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
Construction started in fall 2023 and is expected to be completed by late 2024.
