Temporary I-4 entrance ramp closures set

The Florida Department of Transportation is implementing nightly closures of the entrance ramp to westbound Interstate 4 from Sand Lake Road this week. The closures will begin as early as 10 p.m. each night and are expected to reopen by 6 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 14; Thursday, Aug. 15; and Sunday, Aug. 18.

Crews will be setting 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.
