ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Motorists should be advised that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is implementing a nighttime full ramp closure of the eastbound Interstate 4 (I-4) exit ramp, exit 71, to Central Florida Parkway starting as early as 9 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 11. Crews expect to reopen the ramp by 6:30 a.m. the following morning.

The closure is necessary for crews to remove the barrier wall along both sides of the exit ramp.

During the ramp closure, drivers on eastbound I-4 who wish to head east or west on Central Florida Parkway must follow the detour signs on I-4 and use the next exit, exit 72, to eastbound State Road (S.R.) 528 (Beachline Expressway). Motorists will proceed to Exit 1 and exit at International Drive, where they have the option to continue straight off the exit ramp to Westwood Boulevard or turn left onto southbound International Drive to access Central Florida Parkway. Please see attached detour map.

The detour for this full ramp closure is the same one that has been used for the right turn onto eastbound Central Florida Parkway since early 2023.

FDOT advises motorists to follow all posted signs. Construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Please continue to use caution while driving through active construction zones. Remember to always be alert while riding or driving.
