United StatesSouthbound entrance ramp work scheduled overnight
Florida’s Department of Transportation has scheduled an overnight closure of the I-95 southbound entrance ramp from westbound Oslo Road, Exit 143, in Indian River County. Its notice, updated 4 November, specifies Sunday 8 November from 9 pm until 6 am the following morning for shoulder paving and asphalt straightedge work.
Contingency nights are listed for 9 and 12 November and 15–19 November if needed. The notice says closures will be staggered so that two ramps are not closed simultaneously. No lane or ramp closures are planned on 11 November for Veterans Day.
FDOT provides separate vehicle and truck detour arrangements in the notice. This briefing reports the planned restriction; it does not confirm the ramp’s live status. Drivers should check the latest project advice before travelling.
Why it matters: finishing and quality-checking pavement can still require temporary closures on a project approaching completion. Distinguishing the planned night, contingency dates and vehicle-specific detours helps site logistics and road users interpret the work notice.
