Street Closures in the Milk District and I-4 Congestion Near Attractions This Sunday

Sunday Morning Traffic Overview

Good morning, Orlando. As we settle into Sunday, February 15, 2026, commuters and residents should prepare for a mix of local event-related closures and ongoing major highway construction. While Sunday mornings typically offer a reprieve from the heavy weekday rush, significant disruptions in the Milk District and the southern attractions corridor will require extra travel time today.

Special Event Alert: Lovers Lane Milk Mart

The primary local disruption today is the Lovers Lane Milk Mart taking place in the Milk District. Several key thoroughfares are closed to vehicular traffic starting at 4:00 AM this morning. Specifically, Bumby Avenue is shut down between Robinson Avenue and Whiskey Lou’s Lounge, and Jefferson Street is closed from Bumby Avenue through the Milk House area. These closures are expected to remain in place until at least 8:00 PM tonight.

For those relying on public transport, the LYNX Link 13 (University Boulevard/Winter Park) is currently on a planned reroute to bypass the event area. Passengers should check the LYNX Paw Pass app for temporary stop locations near the Robinson and Crystal Lake intersections.

Major Arteries and I-4 Improvements

On the highways, the "Moving I-4 Forward" initiative continues to impact travel through the tourist hubs. Motorists should anticipate lane narrowings and shoulder work on I-4 westbound near Mile Marker 68 (SR 535). Further south, preparatory work for new express lanes near Osceola Parkway and State Road 536 is causing intermittent slow-downs, even on weekends. On State Road 408, the Central Florida Expressway Authority is maintaining work zones for eastbound lane additions near Tampa Avenue, which may cause minor rubbernecking delays through the downtown core.

Neighborhood Roadworks

Local commuters should remain aware of several long-term construction projects affecting residential neighborhoods:

• Colonialtown North: The intersection of Fern Creek Avenue and Oregon Street remains closed due to the ongoing Lift Station 2 Force Main project. This closure is scheduled to persist through the end of the month.
• Wadeview Park: Muriel Street is closed between South Orange Avenue and Delaney Avenue for utility modernization.
• The Yard at Brookhaven: Brookhaven Drive remains closed from Alden Road through the construction site, affecting local access to the Ivanhoe Village area.

Public Transit and Airport Advisory

As a reminder, SunRail does not operate on Sundays; service will resume tomorrow for the Presidents' Day holiday on a modified schedule. LYNX users should also note that the LYMMO Orange and Grapefruit lines have implemented their new Sunday schedule reductions, with frequencies now every 30 minutes and service ending at 8:00 PM.

Finally, travelers heading to Orlando International Airport (MCO) should allow for significant extra time. Due to the ongoing partial federal government shutdown, TSA staffing levels are under strain, with security wait times at Terminals A and B occasionally exceeding 90 minutes. Airlines are recommending arrivals at least three to four hours prior to departure.
