A decade later, 'ramp to nowhere' on the 408 to be completed

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — That “ramp to nowhere” at the Interstate 4 and 408 interchange that seems to just stop mid-air is finally going to go somewhere.

The ramp on westbound 408 will eventually connect to I-4. A decade ago, the state planned to finish the ramp but didn’t have the money until now.

Once the bridge is built, it will be the tallest of six new bridges for the whole interchange, standing more than 200 feet above the ground.

FDOT said the project should be done in three years.

Crews are also working to finish another ramp near the Griffin Park housing development, which will require closures on the 408 near I-4. The first closure is scheduled for Friday at 9 p.m.
