Message boards and signage will assist drivers traveling through the area. Motorists should use caution while driving through the work zone and remain alert for construction workers.
In addition, the northbound I-275 ramp to eastbound I-4 will close from 12:01 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Tuesday, January 13, for the removal of an overhead sign structure on the interstate. Motorists wanting to access eastbound I-4 from northbound I-275 will continue driving north toward Exit 46B, turn left onto SR 574/Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, re-enter the interstate using the southbound I-275 entrance ramp, continue south on I-275 toward the eastbound I-4 ramp (Exit 45B).
