I-4 eastbound closes from U.S. 27 to ChampionsGate Boulevard (C.R. 532) in the overnight window listed for November 23, midnight to 5 a.m. FDOT program Moving I-4 Forward posts the detour via U.S. 27, Ronald Reagan Parkway and ChampionsGate Boulevard.

Drivers who cross the southwest end of the I-4 corridor late at night have a full closure to plan around early next week. I-4 eastbound will close from U.S. 27 to ChampionsGate Boulevard (County Road 532) in the overnight window Moving I-4 Forward lists for November 23 — midnight to 5:00 a.m., the Sunday night into Monday morning hours — for road construction, according to the closure notice posted by Moving I-4 Forward, FDOT’s program for the corridor.
The posted detour
To continue on I-4 eastbound, the notice directs drivers to take Exit 55 for U.S. 27 toward Haines City and Davenport, turn right onto U.S. 27 northbound, and in approximately 1.8 miles turn right onto Ronald Reagan Parkway. In approximately 2 miles, turn left onto ChampionsGate Boulevard (C.R. 532), continue eastbound, and turn left to access the entrance ramp for I-4 East toward Orlando.
Drivers joining from U.S. 27 northbound follow the same route: continue north on U.S. 27 past the I-4 interchange for approximately 1.8 miles, turn right onto Ronald Reagan Parkway, then left onto ChampionsGate Boulevard (C.R. 532) and left again to the I-4 East entrance ramp.
Who this catches
The closure window — midnight to 5:00 a.m. — is aimed at the thinnest traffic of the week, but it lands on the corridor that carries the ChampionsGate area and the U.S. 27 vacation-home belt toward Orlando. Late arrivals headed for the rental communities off C.R. 532, and anyone making a pre-dawn run toward Orlando International Airport from the Davenport side, should build the detour’s extra miles into the trip or leave before midnight.

This is one of two I-4 closure stories on the corridor this month: FDOT is also closing ramps overnight at the Sand Lake Road interchange on November 17–19, covered in our Sand Lake Road ramp closure report.
