MAITLAND, Fla. - The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) said that a mile and half of westbound Interstate 4 (I-4) will shift into its final alignment in Maitland this week as the I-4 Ultimate Project passes another milestone.
They said that as soon as Friday, July 3, motorists on westbound I-4 will drive on brand new lanes under the reconstructed Maitland Boulevard interchange. The shift will create about five miles of general use lanes in their final footprint from east of State Road 436 to west of Kennedy Boulevard.
To finish the shift, they said that westbound I-4 will be closed starting 10 p.m. on Thursday, July 2nd, until 5 a.m. on Friday, July 3rd. During this time, traffic will detour off I-4 in Altamonte Springs.
