Multiple WB I-4 Ramp Shifts in Winter Park and College Park During Week of July 22
The westbound Interstate 4 (I-4) ramps at Par Street, Princeton Street and the westbound I-4 exit ramp to Ivanhoe Boulevard are shifting to new, temporary configurations the week of July 22.
The westbound I-4 entrance ramp from Princeton Street will shift to a new configuration as soon as the morning of Tuesday, July 23.
The westbound I-4 exit ramp to Ivanhoe Boulevard (exit 84B), the westbound I-4 entrance ramp from Par Street and the westbound I-4 exit ramp to Princeton Street (exit 85) will shift to new configurations this week.
The Ivanhoe Boulevard off ramp was previously closed so crews could make additional safety enhancements and modifications to provide better access to the ramp. One of the modifications included advancing the opening of the westbound I-4 on ramp from Princeton Street. The new configuration of the Princeton Street on ramp helps to mitigate potential conflicts with the Ivanhoe Boulevard off ramp. Shifting all four ramps create a safe work space for construction crews to continue building new westbound I-4 travel lanes.

Nightly full closures of roads and ramps will be necessary to implement traffic shifts and demolish the old bridges. Please consult i4ultimate.com for detours and additional updates.
Modifications or extensions to these schedules may become necessary due to weather delays or other unforeseen conditions. Motorists are advised to maintain a safe speed when driving through the work zone.
