This project is designed to improve operations at the Saxon Boulevard interchange with I-4. The work involves realignment of the I-4 eastbound off ramp to Saxon Boulevard, addition of a traffic signal, and widening of eastbound Saxon Boulevard to add a new third lane between the ramp and Finland Drive. These new features will provide safer access for motorists who are exiting eastbound I-4 onto eastbound Saxon Boulevard to reach the left turn lane at the Finland Drive intersection.
The project also includes minor drainage improvements, sidewalk reconstruction, signing and pavement markings, and other safety improvements.
This project is being completed with a project to mill and resurface I-4 from west of Saxon Boulevard to east of S.R. 472. More information on that project is included on the reverse side of this page.
This project will require lane closures and detours. Lane closures along I-4 are permitted Sunday through Friday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. on westbound lanes and from 8:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. on eastbound lanes. Drivers can also expect lane closures on Saxon Boulevard between 11 p.m. and 5:30 a.m., as well as at least one weekend detour for the closure of the I-4 eastbound off ramp at Saxon Boulevard.
Electronic message boards and other signage will be used to help alert motorists to upcoming closures. Updates can also be found on our Central Florida website www.cflroads.com.
Temporary sidewalk closures are expected at the Saxon Boulevard interchange to accommodate construction of the new curb ramps. During this work, pedestrians and bicyclists will be directed around the work zone using the sidewalk on the opposite side of the road. Please do not walk or ride through active work areas.
