County Road (C.R.) 470 underneath the Interstate 75 (I-75) overpass bridge will be closed for two nights. From 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 15 and Thursday, Feb. 16, a detour will be in effect. The route will be as follows:
- Northbound I-75 traffic headed to westbound C.R. 470 will be directed to exit at State Road (S.R.) 44 (Exit 329) and access C.R. 470 via I-75 south. Northbound I-75 traffic traveling to eastbound C.R. 470 will not be impacted.
- Southbound I-75 traffic headed to eastbound C.R. 470 will be directed to exit at S.R. 48 (Exit 314) and access C.R. 470 via I-75 north. Southbound I-75 traffic traveling to westbound C.R. 470 will not be impacted.
- Eastbound C.R. 470 traffic headed to I-75 north will be directed to travel I-75 south to S.R. 48 (Exit 314), and re-enter the interstate using the northbound entrance ramp. Eastbound C.R. 470 traffic continuing on C.R. 470 will follow the same detour and exit northbound I-75 at C.R. 470. Eastbound C.R. 470 traffic traveling to southbound I-75 will not be impacted.
- Westbound C.R. 470 traffic headed to I-75 south will be directed to travel I-75 north to S.R. 44 (Exit 329), and re-enter the interstate using the southbound entrance ramp. Westbound C.R. 470 traffic continuing on C.R. 470 will follow the same detour and exit southbound I-75 at C.R. 470. Westbound C.R. 470 traffic traveling to northbound I-75 will not be impacted.
- Northbound C.R. 475 traffic headed to westbound C.R. 470 will be directed to travel north on I-75 to S.R. 44 (Exit 329), re-enter the interstate using the southbound entrance ramp, and exit at C.R. 470, bypassing the road closure. Southbound C.R. 475 traffic and northbound C.R. 475 traffic traveling to eastbound C.R. 470 will not be impacted.
In addition to closing a portion of C.R. 470, the southbound off ramp at Exit 321 will be closed for a duration of 10 to 15 minutes on both Wednesday and Thursday nights. The closure is required for the contractor, D.A.B. Constructors Inc., to set beams for the new C.R. 470 bridge. The work is part of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) I-75 widening project from C.R. 470 to just south of Florida’s Turnpike.
Please note that this schedule may change due to weather or other unexpected conditions. Project updates will be posted to FDOT’s Central Florida website, www.cflroads.com.
