ATTENTION DRIVERS: Overnight Closures on I-4 between Kirkman Road and S.R. 528 Interchanges June 8 to 12

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 beginning Sunday, June 8, through Thursday, June 12. 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, June 13.

On the nights of Sunday, June 8, to Thursday, June 12, the westbound I-4 exit ramp to S.R. 528 (Exit 72) will be closed.

Additionally, on the nights of Wednesday, June 11, and Thursday, June 12, all westbound lanes and ramps of I-4 from Kirkman Road to west of S.R. 528, except the westbound I-4 entrance ramp from westbound S.R. 528 and the westbound I-4 exit ramp to Kirkman Road will be closed.

See detour information and the maps below.

These 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 June 8 to 10 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 the Sand Lake Road (S.R. 482) ramp, staying in the left lane and turning left onto Sand Lake Road at the traffic signal, heading east to John Young Parkway (S.R. 423). Motorists will then turn right onto John Young Parkway, proceeding south to S.R. 528.

Detour Information for June 11 and 12 Overnight Closures

Motorists traveling west on I-4 will be directed to take Exit 75B to southbound Kirkman Road, then continue to the Sand Lake Road ramp, staying in the left lane and turning left onto Sand Lake Road at the traffic signal, heading east to John Young Parkway. Motorists will then turn right onto John Young Parkway, proceeding south to S.R. 528. From there, drivers who wish to return to I-4 will continue west to the end of S.R. 528 and take the ramp to westbound I-4.

Motorists traveling east on Sand Lake Road who wish to access westbound I-4 will turn right 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.

Motorists should follow all posted signs and use extra caution while driving through active construction zones. Remember to always be alert while riding or driving.

Construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

This project will widen the westbound I-4 exit ramp to eastbound S.R. 528 from one lane to two lanes, improving capacity and traffic flow.

The project began in January 2024 and is anticipated to reach completion in 2026.
