Ocala Road Work This Week: I-75 and US 441 Overnight Lane Closures, Nov. 8-14, 2026

Drivers on Interstate 75 and U.S. 441 face overnight lane closures again in the week of Sunday, Nov. 8, through Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026. Most of the work is on I-75, where the Florida Department of Transportation lists closures on the northbound lanes between SR 200 and SR 326 and on the southbound lanes in the project from south of SR 44 to SR 200, from Sunday night to Thursday. The U.S. 441 resurfacing between Summerfield and Belleview runs one night longer than last week, through Friday, Nov. 13. The SW 66th Street bridge over I-75 remains closed, and the City of Ocala has no closures posted for the week.

The city detail comes from the City of Ocala's lane and road closures page, also checked Nov. 7. Schedules can change with weather and other conditions, so check again before you drive.

Interstate 75

FDOT is adding auxiliary lanes between interchanges on I-75 through Marion County under two projects, known together as Moving I-75 Forward. Both are listed with an estimated completion of early 2029. This week the closures split by direction: northbound lanes on the north project, southbound lanes on the south project. Last week's schedule is in Ocala road work for Nov. 1-7.

Northbound I-75, SR 200 to SR 326 (Project 452074-1)

According to the project page, this 8-mile, $242 million project adds auxiliary lanes between interchanges and makes operational improvements at several interchanges. Construction on the north project began Nov. 3, 2025. The contractor is Lane Construction Corp.

Drivers using the interstate overnight to reach hotels near I-75 should allow extra time.

SW 66th Street Bridge Over I-75: Still Closed

FDOT's lane closure report lists the SW 66th Street bridge over I-75 as closed from Monday, June 15, 2026, through June 2027, and says it is closed until mid-June 2027 for reconstruction. Drivers who need to cross I-75 are directed to the SW 43rd Street Road bridge.

• Heading east: take SR 200 east to SW 43rd Street Road, turn right, and cross I-75 on the SW 43rd Street Road bridge.


• Heading west: take SW 27th Avenue north to SW 42nd Street and turn left, cross I-75 on the SW 43rd Street Road bridge, then turn left on NW 40th Avenue or continue to SR 200.
