ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — The Florida Department of Transportation announced overnight closures for all lanes of Central Florida Parkway under Interstate 4 on Friday, May 8, and Thursday, May 14.
These closures are necessary to complete two concrete pours for the overhead bridge deck as part of the ongoing I-4 and Sand Lake Road (State Road 482) improvement project.
The temporary closures will begin as early as 12 am each night and reopen by 5 am the following mornings.
During these overnight periods, motorists exiting eastbound I-4 to Central Florida Parkway at Exit 71 will be limited to making right turns only.
FDOT noted that if crews are unable to complete the concrete deck pours as scheduled due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, the May 8 closure will be shifted to Monday, May 11.
Similarly, the May 14 closure would be moved to Friday, May 15.
Should these shifts occur, the work would still take place during the same overnight hours from 12 am to 5 am.
