Improvements completed on I-4 interchange in Seminole County

road work

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — The Florida Department of Transportation has wrapped up major safety improvements at the Interstate 4 and U.S. 17-92 interchange.

The speed limit here is now 35 mph instead of 50 mph, as more pedestrians and bicyclists are in the area.

Crews realigned the eastbound I-4 exit ramp to improve driver visibility, added a new pedestrian-activated crossing signal and enhanced crosswalks.

The Transportation Department also added new auxiliary lanes to ease traffic flow. It also removed a free-flow right turn, so drivers must now come to a full stop.

These changes aim to make the interchange safer for both drivers and pedestrians.

Construction on this project started in fall of 2023
