Traffic Advisory: Westbound I-4 Entrance Ramp from Sand Lake Road scheduled for Overnight Closures August 14, 15, and 18
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Motorists should be advised that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is implementing nightly closures of the entrance ramp to westbound Interstate 4 (I-4) from Sand Lake Road (State Road (S.R.) 482) on August 14,15, and 18. The closures will begin as early as 10 p.m. each night and are expected to reopen by 6 a.m.
These closures are necessary for crews to set beams on new bridge structures in the area as part of the improvements to the I-4 and Sand Lake Road interchange. The beams, weighing 72 to 75 tons, will be delivered to the ramp and then set in place via multiple cranes.
During the closure, motorists on Sand Lake Road who want to access westbound I-4 should turn onto northbound Turkey Lake Road, proceeding to Hollywood Way, where they will turn right. They will then turn right again onto Adventure Way and proceed to westbound I-4. See attached detour map.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) advises motorists to follow all posted signs. Construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
Please continue to use caution while driving through active construction zones. Remember to always be alert while riding or driving.
