Crews have completed the project to improve the Interstate 4 (I-4) and U.S. 17-92 interchange in Seminole County. These enhancements include the realignment of the eastbound I-4 exit ramp to U.S. 17-92, pedestrian safety upgrades at the eastbound I-4 exit ramp, and new auxiliary lanes and turn lanes on Monroe Road and U.S. 17-92.

This project was designed to improve safety near the Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens and downtown Sanford in Seminole County. Construction crews realigned the eastbound I-4 exit ramp to westbound U.S. 17-92 to improve sight distance and create space for crosswalk improvements, which include an overhead pedestrian-activated hybrid beacon signal. This technology helps pedestrians cross the intersection more safely using flashing yellow-to-red lights that alert motorists to slow down and stop.

Crews added two right-turn lanes from eastbound U.S. 17-92 to southbound Monroe Road, replacing the previous free-flow right turn. The speed limit has also been reduced from 50 mph to 35 mph, which provides safer traffic flow and pedestrian crossing.

Other improvements include a new auxiliary lane on eastbound U.S. 17-92 between the westbound I-4 exit ramp and Monroe Road, a new right-turn lane from southbound U.S. 17-92/Monroe Road to the eastbound I-4 entrance ramp, and a new left-turn lane from westbound Seminole Boulevard to southbound U.S. 17-92/Monroe Road.

Crews also resurfaced and re-striped the roadway as part of the project, providing a smoother driving experience and better visibility for motorists and pedestrians.
