FDOT said the updated pattern is necessary to create enough room for construction crews to build the westbound I-4 Express extension.
Motorists, also take note that single-lane and double-lane closures from Daryl Carter Parkway to SR-536 will happen from April 1 to April 4.

These closures will occur nightly between 11:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. so crews can initiate the shift, FDOT said.
The new pattern will move westbound I-4 traffic over one lane to the outside, so the inside shoulder can be closed for road work.
