Crash Closes I-4 Westbound Near Disney World, Traffic Diverted

Published September 29, 2026

A crash closed all westbound lanes of Interstate 4 near Walt Disney World Resort on the morning of Tuesday, September 29, according to reports, with traffic being diverted onto EPCOT Center Drive. The closure is near exit 67, the exit for Osceola Parkway.

The Florida Department of Transportation says the crash happened just before 10 a.m. Eastern. As of Tuesday, September 29, the westbound closure and the EPCOT Center Drive diversion were the reported conditions on the ground.

Details of the crash itself have not been released in the coverage available, and no reopening time has been given.

What we know

What’s not confirmed

The number of vehicles involved, any injuries, and how long the closure will last have not been stated. Disney has not issued a statement about the crash or about any impact on resort transportation, parking, or park operations, and there is no indication from Disney that park hours or attraction operations are affected.

What it means for your trip

If you are driving west on I-4 toward the Disney property, Disney Springs, or a resort check-in on Tuesday, September 29, expect the EPCOT Center Drive corridor and the surrounding property roads to absorb a lot of traffic they were not built for. Give yourself a real cushion rather than a ten-minute one.

The practical moves: check a live traffic app before you leave, consider approaching from Osceola Parkway or World Drive instead of the affected stretch of I-4, and if you are staying on-site, use Disney bus, boat, or Skyliner transportation rather than driving off property and back.

If you have a dining reservation you are at risk of missing, call the restaurant directly — arriving late without notice can cost you the table. If you lose it, watch for the cancellation to come back: SupaPark’s dining Drop Watch pings you the moment a table frees up, and you rebook it in My Disney Experience.

And if a delayed arrival blows up your morning Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections, remember you can keep adding a new selection through the day once a window passes — the day is salvageable even if the first hour is not.
