Motorists are advised that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will close all lanes of westbound I-4 Express from John Young Parkway (State Road (S.R.) 423) to the end of I-4 Express just west of Kirkman Road (S.R. 435) starting as early as 11 p.m. Tuesday night, October 27, and ending by 5:30 a.m. the following morning, Wednesday, October 28.

This closure is necessary to remove temporary barrier wall. Following the removal of the temporary barrier wall, crews will restripe the right lane of westbound I-4 Express at the Kirkman Road overpass, where the current continuous lane closure is in place. Once restriping is complete, crews will reopen the lane.

NOTE: If this work is not completed as scheduled, the same closure and detour will occur during the same hours overnight on Wednesday, October 28.

Directions for Motorists Traveling Westbound on I-4 Express

Motorists traveling westbound on I-4 Express will be directed to exit the express lanes onto the westbound Interstate 4 (I-4) general-use lanes near John Young Parkway (local exits 78-74AB).

Access to and from westbound I-4 Express direct connect ramps at Florida’s Turnpike and Grand National Drive will be restricted as part of the closure.

FDOT advises motorists to follow all posted detour signs. Construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
