Interstate 4 suffers major flooding, with even more storms expected

ORLANDO, Fla. – Overnight storms caused major flooding along a section of Interstate 4, though FDOT officials say they are preparing for even more.

In a statement, FDOT officials explained that the flooding happened early Monday morning along I-4 near World Drive.

However, all lanes of I-4 were eventually reopened just after 8 a.m., officials added.

“With more rain expected in the forecast this week, teams have taken additional steps to further prepare, including inspecting and clearing drainage systems, staging pumps, and closely coordinating with FHP,” the statement reads.

Meanwhile, the FDOT is encouraging drivers to check Florida 511 for the latest information on traffic conditions, including road closures and detours. You can check that here.
