Ronald Reagan Boulevard Lane Closures Scheduled for Tonight

Posted on

Lane closures are scheduled along westbound Ronald Reagan Boulevard/County Road (C.R.) 427 at U.S. 17/92 beginning Friday, May 4, from about 8:30 p.m. through 6:30 a.m. on Monday May 7. The contractor will close two through lanes and one of the left turn lanes to place concrete pavement.

During the work, drivers continuing west on Ronald Reagan Boulevard, and those turning right onto U.S. 17/92, will use the right turn lane. (Please see map below).

The work is part of a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) project to widen U.S. 17/92 from four to six lanes from Shepard Road to Lake Mary Boulevard.

Please note construction schedules may change due to weather or other circumstances. Electronic message boards will be used to alert motorists to lane closures and detours, and updates will be available on the FDOT’s Central Florida website CFLRoads.com.

Media inquiries should be directed to the FDOT Communications Office at 386-943-5479 or [email protected].

FDOT advises drivers to slow down and use extra caution in construction zones.

Intersection Changes at Georgia Avenue and Ronald Reagan Boulevard

Motorists are advised of intersection changes coming to Georgia Avenue/2nd Place and Ronald Reagan Boulevard (County Road 427) beginning Wednesday, April 19. The Florida Department of Transportation is constructing a directional median that will prevent left turns onto Ronald Reagan Boulevard from Georgia Avenue and 2nd Place. The change is needed for safety.

Contractors will be installing a raised median beginning April 19. During the work, drivers can expect northbound and southbound inside lane closures on Ronald Reagan Boulevard between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. 

With the new configuration, drivers heading westbound on Georgia Avenue will have to turn right onto Ronald Reagan Boulevard and make a U-turn to head south. Drivers traveling east on 2nd Place will have to turn south onto Ronald Reagan Boulevard and make a U-turn to go north. Drivers on 2nd Place may also access Ronald Reagan Boulevard northbound from 12th Avenue.

Motorists are also advised that work will continue April 17 – 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the railroad crossing on Georgia Avenue. The crossing will remain open. 

The work is part of SunRail’s Phase II South Extension project, which will add 17.2 miles of track from Sand Lake Road in Orlando to Poinciana Boulevard in Kissimmee.
