Traffic shift on WB Maitland Blvd.
scheduled for September 24
Roadway
shifts to elevated lanes between Hope Rd. and Maitland Summit Blvd.
ORLANDO — Westbound
Maitland Boulevard (State Road 414) is shifting to its final configuration on a
newly constructed elevated roadway by the morning commute on Monday, September
25.
The westbound Maitland Boulevard shift will affect
traffic patterns at the Interstate 4 (I-4) interchange and intersections of
Hope Road, Lake Destiny Road, Keller Road and Maitland Summit Boulevard. The
new configuration eliminates traffic signals on the elevated stretch of
westbound Maitland Boulevard between I-4 and Maitland Summit Boulevard
alleviating congestion. New access ramps from westbound Maitland Boulevard will
provide access to Keller Road and Maitland Summit Boulevard. Other major
changes in traffic patterns as part of the traffic shift include:
· From Maitland
Avenue, westbound Maitland Boulevard motorists heading to westbound I-4 must be
in the left lane. Westbound Maitland Boulevard motorists heading to eastbound
I-4 or continuing on westbound Maitland Boulevard must be in the right lanes.
· A new traffic
signal at intersection of Hope Road and westbound Maitland Boulevard will allow
motorists from Hope Road to safely cross westbound Maitland Boulevard to
proceed to the westbound I-4 on-ramp.
· The eastbound I-4
exit to westbound Maitland Boulevard (Exit 90B) will shift to a new ramp. The
exit point on eastbound I-4 is approximately one-tenth of a mile sooner.
· The traffic signal
at the end of the westbound I-4 exit ramp to westbound Maitland Boulevard (Exit
90B) will be removed and the ramp will be free flowing onto the new westbound
Maitland Boulevard.

The I-4 Ultimate project is rebuilding 21 miles of
Interstate 4 (I-4) from west of Kirkman Road in Orange County to east of State
Road 434 in Seminole County, adding two new dynamic tolled Express Lanes in
each direction, replacing more than 140 bridges, reconfiguring 15 major
interchanges and reconstructing the entire roadway.
