I'll be driving from Clearwater to Orlando during the week (in May). Any tips?
Mapquest says approx. 90 miles or 2 hours via Rt. 4. Has anyone done this? Is it a nightmare of traffic? Any input is appreciated.
 
Expect lots of construction (ie delays). Try not to travel during peak travel hours (around 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 to 6:30 p.m. Monday-Friday) there is just more traffic. It's not a pretty drive, but it will get you there. Plan at least 2 hours for little traffic and construction delays. We haven't done this drive for a couple of years, so I'm really not sure of the construction progresss.
 
My family and I do this drive every summer because we always visit Clearwater 1st then go off to WDW. Anyway from what I can remember the only parts of I4 where they were doing construction was around the exits just before WDW when coming eastbound however the trafic was not that bad and there were very few delays.
