Meeting will be offered in multiple platforms
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold a public meeting regarding project plans on Interstate 4 (I-4) improvements in Orange County — including the Sand Lake Road (State Road (S.R.) 482) interchange, Daryl Carter Parkway partial interchange improvements, and extensions to I-4 managed lanes on Thursday, February 10, at 5 p.m. The purpose of these projects is to provide operational and safety improvements to the I-4 corridor in southern Orange County. The public meeting is being held to present information and receive community feedback. These projects include:
- Reconstructing the I-4 general use lanes and extending I-4 managed lanes from west of the Sand Lake Road and I-4 interchange to the end of the I-4 Ultimate project, west of Kirkman Road (S.R. 435).
- Reconstructing the I-4 and Sand Lake Road interchange into a diverging diamond interchange (DDI).
- Adding a single, buffer-delineated westbound managed lane extension from west of Central Florida Parkway to west of the Sand Lake Road and I-4 interchange.
- Reconfiguring the Daryl Carter Parkway overpass as a DDI and constructing new I-4 exits from both directions to Daryl Carter Parkway, as well as a new eastbound I-4 entrance ramp.
- Adding a single, buffer-delineated westbound managed lane extension from west of Daryl Carter Parkway to west of Central Florida Parkway.
