The incident happened on I-4 east near the Florida Turnpike.

“Officers are currently working with FHP & DOT to clean up pavers that fell off a truck on I-4 east near the turnpike,” Orlando police posted on Facebook. “I- east is closed just east of the turnpike. The express lanes eastbound will remain open.”

All lanes of I-4 were reopened hours later.

Details about how the bricks fell off the truck have not been released.

Someone is going to have to reschedule their paver delivery...
