The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will implement an overnight closure of the eastbound I-4 entrance ramp at Sand Lake Road (State Road 482) on Sunday, July 26. The closure is scheduled to begin as early as 10:00 p.m. and reopen by 6:00 a.m. on the morning of Monday, July 27.

This closure is necessary to install barrier wall on eastbound I-4 near Universal Boulevard.

NOTE: If this work is not completed on the night of Sunday, July 26, the night of Monday, July 27 will serve as a backup date for this work.

  • During the ramp closure, motorists west of I-4 on Sand Lake Road can head north on Turkey Lake Road, turn right onto eastbound Hollywood Way, and then turn right onto southbound Universal Boulevard to access eastbound I-4.
