I want to take you out to the 408 in orange county. Were seeing a couple issues on the 408, the first right here, a crash on the eastbound lane near exit 9 carter street is causing slow downs. You can see indicated in those oranges and heading over to golden rod road at lake underhill, we have a new crash delay. I want to take you to downtown orlando, a new i4 ultimate road closure that is very popular Colonial Drive to marks street will be shut down and that will continue until next year.

Starting today, use have shut down garland avenue. The closure is necessary for crews to get in here and install, relocate utilities, and realign garland avenue, basically push it a little to the east so we have room to widen i4. Its all part of the i4 this will also create a new eastbound i4 entrance ramp from Colonial Drive. This area in particular will have a lot of work going on because the city has a project of their own. So you can expect a lot of construction workers to close streets and signs you need to watch out for in the months ahead. Theres a lot of work going on in the downtown area and its really important for folks to take a little extra time, take a look at whats planned for construction. And again, youre going to see this closure right behind me for 14 months. For now, reporting here in downtown orlando, jackie, fox 35 news. Thank you. You decide, 2016, marco rubio will be in Seminole County today. Hes trying to build support of next weeks florida primary. Rubio will be holding a rally at 6 45 this evening. The florida senator says he must win tuesdays primary in florida if he has any chance at this nomination. Rubios visit comes two days after donald trump held a rally at ucf. Up to cheer on the front runner. The rally only lasted about an hour but was interrupted at least 20 times by protesters. Three is. There it is, cameras. Look up there, camera. Look up there. Thats a protester camera. Get them out of here. Get them. Right now, donald trump has 384 delegates. Ted cruz closing in with 300. Marco rubios in third with 151. And john kasich has 137. The candidates need 1213 delegates in order to secure the nomination. Meanwhile on the democratic side, i think Bernie Sanders is fighting to stay in this race. He had a pretty good saturday. More on what hes doing right now. Bernie sanders did win two of three on super saturday, keeping the pressure on Hillary Clinton they were in michigan, sanders and clinton, debating in flint, michigan. The two frequently interrupted one another. This is the best example of that. If you were talking about the wall street bail out, where some of your friends destroyed this economy. You know. Excuse me, im talking. If youre gonna talk, tell the whole story. Let me tell my story. And so that was one of the many interruptions. Not as many as the gop side, but still a number of the candidates were able to speak of the water crisis in flint. The governor has been under fire for failing to intervene sooner when it it was discovered the leadtainted water. Last night, the two candidates called for the governor to be recalled. The governor should resign or be recalled. What is absolutely incredible to me is that water rates have you are paying three times more for poisoned water than im paying in burlington, vermont for clean water. And its knowing to become a partisan issue, the democrats attacking that much more. Governor rick snyder fired back, saying im taking responsibility for our value system, as we should. He went on to say my track record is getting things done and i want to get this done. By the way, clinton leads in the michigan polls. In Volusia County, a man is dead after being mitt by a car in daytona beach. Investigators are trying to figure out how it happened. It took place about 7 00 last night. The man was hit and killed by that suv. The victims name has not yet been released. Witnesses say they do often see people crossing the road there even though theres not a cross walk. The driver of the suv did stop and is now cooperating with the investigation. No word on if that driver will face charges. The nations coming together former first lady nancy reagan. Mrs. Reagan died yesterday from congestive heart failure. She was 94. Luann is here with more reaction today. It sure did not take long for people to start paying their respects, and it is very clear how influential nancy reagan really was. The just say no antidrug campaign and was passionate about stem cell research. She also promoted better treatment for our veterans. Now she met her husband, the late president Ronald Reagan while working as an actress in hollywood. Ronald reagan was also working as an actor at the time. Many americans are now remembering her as a great first lady, including florida senator marco rubio, who is credited for saving nancy reagan here when she fell back in 2008. In 2011, i was invited to speak at the reagan library. We got a chance to meet her, a chance to have dinner with her. It was an extraordinary experience. Shared this message, saying, throughout her life, nancys incredible commitment to her country and her family did not falter and she will continue to inspire all of us to live bravely and selflessly. Nancy reagan made a monumental impact on our nation and i know her legacy will live on, just like her husbands legacy has. Well, funeral arrangements still have not been finalized, but we do know that nancy reagan will be laid to rest right next to her husband at his president ial library in seeny valley, california.

State lawmakers agreed to set aside 20 million for the construction of the downtown ucf campus. That is all the money that the school was asking for, but its not a done deal.
