The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and Osceola County are coordinating on designs for improvements to the Interstate 4 (I-4) at County Road (C.R.) 532 interchange. The purpose of these interim design projects is to provide operational and safety improvements at the I-4 and C.R. 532 interchange, as well as on I-4 between C.R. 532 and State Road (S.R.) 429.

These projects include:

• I-4 and C.R. 532 Interchange Reconfiguration (FPID No. 444187-1): These design plans reconfigure the I-4 and C.R. 532 interchange to a diverging diamond interchange (DDI) to improve safety and operations in the area. This is a joint project between Osceola County and FDOT. The county is designing the project and FDOT will oversee its construction. A DDI removes turns across oncoming traffic to help increase traffic flow. The project will also add bike lanes and sidewalks along C.R. 532 for improved bicycle and pedestrian connectivity and safety. Construction is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2021.
• I-4 Auxiliary Lane Additions (FPID No. 444329-1): This FDOT project includes the addition of new eastbound and westbound I-4 auxiliary lanes, one in each direction, between the ramps of S.R. 429 and C.R. 532, as well as an auxiliary lane on northbound S.R. 429 between I-4 and Sinclair Road. The westbound I-4 exit ramp and the eastbound I-4 entrance ramp at the C.R. 532 interchange will also be widened to two lanes to increase traffic flow and capacity. The project includes milling and resurfacing S.R. 429 between I-4 and Sinclair Road. Construction is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2021.
• I-4 Milling and Resurfacing (FPID No. 443958-1): Plans for this FDOT project will mill and resurface eastbound and westbound I-4 from the Polk-Osceola County line to west of S.R. 417. Construction is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2021.
