UPDATE: S.R. 408 Ramp Closures Continue Night of Feb. 14

Orlando - Some schedule changes to ramp closures are occurring on the I-4 Ultimate project, beginning tonight. The work focuses the placing of large, heavy bridge girders a structural component used to support bridge decks and traffic on part of the flyover ramp from eastbound and westbound I-4 to westbound S.R. 408.

To accommodate the safe placement of bridge girders, the eastbound and westbound S.R. 408 entrance ramps from I-4 and westbound S.R. 408 exit ramp to westbound I-4 will close overnight/tonight (February 14) from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. tomorrow morning (February 15).

Other changes; the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has cancelled the overnight work scheduled for February 15-16 and February 17-18. Instead, the same ramps will be closed overnight from 9 p.m. Friday, February 16, to 6 a.m. Saturday, February 17.

The rest of the schedule remains unchanged (at this time) as ramps will be closed overnight 21-22, 23-24 and 26-27. These ramp closures also begin each night at 9 p.m. and conclude at 6 a.m. the following morning,

A handout illustrating the closures and corresponding detours is available online to view or download at: http://fdot.tips/WB408. To view or download a handout detailing the final configuration of the I-4 and S.R. 408 interchange, please visit: http://fdot.tips/sr408.
