Work continues on the State Road 417 widening from International Drive to the Beachline Expressway (SR 528), so roads leading into and out of Osceola County will close overnight for a few nights this week, the Central Florida Expressway Authority announced today.
Here's the details on this week's closures:
Sunday through Thursday (Aug. 21-25) from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.: The ramps from Boggy Creek Road and Jeff Fuqua Boulevard to northbound SR 417, will close. Northbound drivers on Boggy Creek should turn right one light sooner on Lake Nona Boulevard and follow the detour signs. (Southbound traffic from Jeff Fuqua Boulevard out of the airport goes one light past 417).
Sunday from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.: The ramp from John Young Parkway to southbound SR 417 will close. Drivers will be directed to travel north on SR 417 to Orange Blossom Trail (Exit 11) and follow detour signs.
Monday from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.: Northbound SR 417 ramp to John Young Parkway (Exit 10) will close. Drivers will be directed to travel north on SR 417 to Orange Blossom Trail (Exit 11) and follow the detour signs.
The 417 widening project is expected to be completed by late 2023, and will add lanes to the toll road that see congestion at daily drive time, especially the afternoon rush hour in the southbound lanes.
