If your commute or travels will take you on Interstate 4 between State Road 429 and Daryl Carter Parkway early Thursday morning, be aware of a Florida Department of Transportation traffic operation that may create slowdowns and delays.
Traffic pacing operations in the westbound and eastbound lanes are planned from 1-5 a.m. Thursday so utility crews can pull lines across the interstate.
FDOT says law enforcement will slow traffic to below 20 mph, and may bring it to a complete stop, for short durations. Drivers entering I-4 at the following locations may have to wait or follow along at a reduced speed.
