As the law enforcement pace car passes an interchange, its westbound I-4 entrance ramp will be reopened allowing motorists to enter and join the slow roll toward Kirkman Road. To ensure no vehicles jump ahead of the rolling roadblock, all 13 westbound I-4 entrances between the Par Street and Kirkman Road interchanges will be temporarily blocked by law enforcement officers. Two rolling roadblocks are scheduled for each night between the hours of 12 a.m. By slowing traffic to about 20 mph at the Par Street interchange, it will give crews approximately 30 minutes to swing a beam into place over westbound I-4 and secure it to the piers before the slowed traffic behind the rolling roadblock reaches the work area. The rolling roadblocks are necessary for the safety of the motoring public. The biggest is 130 feet long, seven feet wide and weighs about 160 tons. Earlier this month the huge girders were delivered to the construction site. Expect road closures, rolling roadblocks, delays on I-20, I-220 through March.
