Default Fla. Interstate Detour

I read somewhere that Fla. Interstate will be closing several lanes and establishing a detour but can't recall where, when and for how long. The interstate construction website is confusing. I have to make several trips using the interstate during the week of 2/14 and am wondering whether to just stick to 441, which we all know is no joy ride.

COUNTY ROAD 468 WIDENING

Motorists traveling on Florida’s Turnpike in Sumter County next week should be alert for full roadway closures between Leesburg and Wildwood beginning Monday night, February 8.
Northbound Turnpike traffic will be detoured at CR 470 (Exit 296), 10 p.m.-6 a.m., nightly beginning Monday, February 8. Motorists should follow the posted detour and reenter the Turnpike northbound in Wildwood at US 301 (Exit 304).
Northbound beams will take two nights to place. When all of the beams on the northbound side are placed, the beam setting operation will move to the southbound side.
Southbound Turnpike traffic will be detoured at US 301 (Exit 304), 10 p.m.-6 a.m., nightly, beginning Wednesday, February 10 until the operation is finished. Motorists should follow the posted detour and reenter the Turnpike southbound in Leesburg at CR 470 (Exit 296).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project widens CR 468 from two to four lanes over Florida’s Turnpike in Sumter County. It is located approximately five miles north of the CR 470 interchange and approximately four miles south of the US 301 interchange. The existing CR 468 is a two-lane urban collector road from US 301 to CR 501 and a two-lane rural major collector road from CR 501 to SR 44.

Of course it's the turnpike. I meant to write "turnpike" or intrastate.
