The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is implementing overnight closures of all lanes of Central Florida Parkway under Interstate 4 (I-4) from Sunday, March 1, to Thursday, March 5, and from Sunday, March 8, to Thursday, March 12. The closures will start as early as 11 p.m. each night and reopen by 6:30 a.m. each morning, with the last closure opening the morning of Friday, March 13. Please note that during these closures, motorists exiting eastbound I-4 to Central Florida Parkway at Exit 71 will be limited to right turns only.

These closures are necessary for overhead bridge work and beam setting.

To access Central Florida Parkway east of I-4:

• Proceed south on Palm Parkway, then turn left onto eastbound Daryl Carter Parkway. From there, turn left onto northbound International Drive, then turn left again onto Westwood Boulevard, continuing north to access Central Florida Parkway.

To access Central Florida Parkway west of I-4:

• From eastbound I-4, take Exit 71 and stay in the right lane and turn right onto eastbound Central Florida Parkway, then turn right at the first traffic signal onto southbound Westwood Boulevard. From there, turn right onto International Drive, heading southwest before turning right again onto westbound Daryl Carter Parkway. From there, turn right on northbound Palm Parkway to access Central Florida Parkway.
• From Central Florida Parkway east of I-4, turn left onto southbound Westwood Boulevard, then follow the same route as above.

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

This work is part of the ongoing improvement project to reconstruct the I-4 and Sand Lake Road interchange into a diverging diamond interchange (DDI) and extend I-4 Express.

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

This work will extend I-4 Express over Central Florida Parkway as part of the ongoing I-4 and Sand Lake Road improvement project. For more information about the improvements on I-4 at Sand Lake Road, visit the project website at I4Beyond.com/SandLake.
