Motorists are advised that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is implementing overnight closures along Interstate 4 (I-4) between the Kirkman Road (State Road (S.R.) 435) and S.R. 528 (Beachline Expressway) interchanges from Tuesday, July 8, through Thursday, July 10.
The closures will begin as early as 10 p.m. each night and are expected to reopen by 6 a.m. the following morning, with the last closure opening on the morning of Friday, July 11.
On the nights of Tuesday, July 8, and Wednesday, July 9, motorists can expect the following overnight closures:
- All westbound lanes and ramps of I-4 from Kirkman Road to west of S.R. 528, except for the westbound I-4 exit ramp to Kirkman Road and the westbound I-4 entrance ramp from westbound S.R. 528.
On the night of Thursday, July 10, motorists can expect the following overnight closures:
- All lanes of eastbound I-4 under the westbound I-4 exit ramp to S.R. 528 and the westbound I-4 exit ramp to S.R. 528.
See detour information and maps below.
NOTE: If crews complete the westbound I-4 work on the night of Tuesday, July 8, only the eastbound I-4 closures will take place on the night of Wednesday, July 9.
The closures are necessary for bridge work. The operation at the I-4 and S.R. 528 interchange is a critical step in the project to widen the I-4 westbound exit ramp to eastbound S.R. 528 from one to two lanes, improving capacity and traffic flow at this busy interchange.
Detour Information for July 8 and 9 Overnight Closures
Motorists traveling west on I-4 who wish to access S.R. 528 will be directed to exit early at Exit 75B to southbound Kirkman Road, then continue to Sand Lake Road (S.R. 482), staying in the left lane and turning left onto eastbound Sand Lake Road toward John Young Parkway (S.R. 423). Motorists will then turn right onto southbound John Young Parkway, proceeding to S.R. 528. To return to westbound I-4, motorists should take the ramp to westbound S.R. 528 and proceed to the westbound I-4 entrance ramp.
Motorists traveling on Sand Lake Road west of I-4 who wish to access westbound I-4 will turn onto southbound Turkey Lake Road and proceed to Central Florida Parkway. From there, motorists will turn left onto eastbound Central Florida Parkway and take the first right onto the westbound I-4 entrance ramp.
Detour Information for July 10 Overnight Closures
Motorists traveling east on I-4 will be directed to take Exit 72 to eastbound S.R. 528, then use Exit 1 to access northbound International Drive before taking an immediate right turn onto the loop ramp to westbound S.R. 528. From there, motorists can proceed to eastbound I-4.
Motorists traveling west on I-4 who wish to access S.R. 528 will be directed to exit early at Exit 75B to southbound Kirkman Road, then continue to Sand Lake Road (S.R. 482), staying in the left lane and turning left onto eastbound Sand Lake Road toward John Young Parkway (S.R. 423). Motorists will then turn right onto southbound John Young Parkway, proceeding to S.R. 528.
