Orlando, Fla. The eastbound Interstate 4 (I-4) exit to Amelia Street (Exit 83A) is shifting to a temporary configuration as soon as the morning of April 3.

The exit point to the new temporary ramp is just past Amelia Street, and will place motorists on a separate travel lane partitioned from Garland Avenue by a barrier wall. The new ramp configuration will give motorists access to westbound Colonial Drive (State Road 50) after heeding a traffic signal, and U-turn access to Hughey Avenue after heeding a traffic signal.

Motorists seeking to access other nearby areas may follow a new route. The eastbound I-4 exit ramp to South Street (Exit 82B) will remain open and may also be an option for motorists.

This interim configuration is scheduled to be in place for about 18 months. It is necessary to continue construction of the new eastbound I-4 travel lanes through downtown Orlando.

Additional resources, including a handout detailing alternate routes, are available at i4ultimate.com/Amelia.

Modifications or extensions to these 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.
