Chilly Tuesday Commute: Fog Alerts and I-4 Bridge Work Detours

Morning Commute Overview

Expect a brisk and potentially foggy start for your Tuesday morning commute on January 27, 2026. With temperatures dipping near freezing overnight, commuters are advised to allow extra time for defrosting vehicles and navigating local roads where visibility may be reduced. While major arteries are largely flowing, several strategic closures and seasonal public transit adjustments are in effect today that could impact your routine.

Major Highway Alerts and Roadworks

• Interstate 4 (I-4) & Central Florida Parkway: Bridge work continues at the Central Florida Parkway overpass. While full lane closures under I-4 are restricted to the early morning hours (1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.), morning travelers should note that the eastbound I-4 exit ramp to Central Florida Parkway (Exit 71) remains limited to right turns only during active work periods.
• S.R. 434 and S.R. 436: Overnight lane closures and detours in the Altamonte Springs and Casselberry areas are scheduled to continue through today, January 27. Commuters should watch for lingering equipment and potential lane shifts as crews conclude their shifts before the peak morning rush.
• I-4 Express Lanes: Construction activity is ramping up near ChampionsGate and U.S. 27. While no full closures are reported for this morning, increased truck traffic is expected near the shoulder as part of the broader infrastructure overhaul.

Public Transport and SunRail Updates

• LYNX Service Adjustments: Commuters are reminded that the significant system-wide changes implemented on January 11 are now the standard. Discontinued routes include Links 34, 45, 103, and 434. If you haven't checked your route lately, Links 1, 23, and 102 have seen major alignment changes to better serve SunRail connections.
• Free Cold Weather Transport: In response to the freezing temperatures, LYNX is offering free transportation today to individuals traveling to official warming centers. Passengers simply need to inform the driver they are heading to a designated shelter.
• SunRail Status: Following a significant vehicle collision at the intersection of Holden Avenue and South Orange Avenue late yesterday, SunRail service has resumed. However, passengers in the Edgewood area should remain cautious and check for minor residual delays as safety protocols remain heightened near the incident site.

Local Road Closures

Avoid these specific city street closures to keep your local drive smooth:

• Summerlin Avenue: Closed between Livingston Street and Ridgewood Street for construction.
• Fern Creek Avenue: The intersection at Oregon Street in Colonialtown remains closed for forcemain projects.
• Fox Street: Closed between McCullough Avenue and Bennett Road through February.
• Church Street: Long-term closures persist between Tampa Avenue and Rio Grande Avenue due to the Camping World Stadium renovation.
