A new bridge on Kirkman Road for the I-4 Ultimate Project is opening next week, according to the Florida Department of Transportation.

  • New bridge on Kirkman Road to open
  • Traffic on northbound Kirkman Road will shift 
  • Bridge is part of the I-4 Ultimate Project

Northbound lanes of Kirkman Road will shift to the new bridge over westbound Interstate 4 starting Nov. 6. The eastbound I-4 exit ramp—Exit 75B—to northbound Kirkman Road will shift to the west as part of the new traffic pattern, officials said.

Drivers will need to exit a quarter of a mile sooner on I-4 for the new ramp.

Both northbound Kirkman Road over I-4 and the Exit 75B will be closed starting at 4 p.m. Sunday. The roads will reopen at 5 a.m. Monday. Detours will be setup during the closures.

As part of the 21-mile I-4 Ultimate Project, more than 140 bridges will be widened, replaced or added. I-4 Ultimate is expected to be completed in 2021.
