Orlando - The eastbound Interstate 4 (I-4) on-ramp from Michigan Street is closing for one year as soon as 10 p.m. on Thursday, March 1.

The long-term ramp closure is necessary to provide a safe work zone so construction crews can safely construct new bridge and ramp structures at the I-4 and Michigan Street interchange.

A detour map is available to view or download online at: http://fdot.tips/michiganramp. The detour for this closure is to enter eastbound I-4 from Kaley Avenue via Orange Blossom Trail (U.S. 441-17/92).

Please visit http://fdot.tips/kaley to see how the I-4 interchanges at Kaley Avenue and Michigan Street will be configured upon project completion.

Modifications or extensions to this schedule may become necessary due to weather delays or other unforeseen conditions. Motorists are advised to maintain a safe speed when driving through the work zone.
