I-4 Eastbound Lane Closure: Fuel Spill Causes Delays

Two lanes are shut down at exit 38 because of a fuel spill from a tractor trailer. This happened right in a construction zone, and now crews have to grind up and repave those lanes to make sure it's safe for everyone. Drivers are facing major backups, especially hitting that Monday evening rush hour, with traffic crawling way slower than usual. The Florida Department of Transportation says those lanes stay closed until APM, or even later if needed, so plan alternate routes if you can. Keep an eye on updates from FDOT and stay safe out there staring clear of the mess.
