DAVENPORT, Fla. — Florida Highway Patrol confirmed Friday all lanes on I-4 near mile marker 57 are open after crews worked to repair the highway.

Traffic on Interstate 4 westbound in Polk County came to a halt Thursday evening after a depression in the roadway forced officials to close all westbound lanes.

FHP said all westbound lanes were closed overnight, with traffic diverted at Exit 58. 

According to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the closure began around 7 p.m. Feb. 20, and emergency vehicles arrived at the scene shortly thereafter.
