I'm not sure what I 27 refers to. To get to the Poly from I-75 (we drive I-75 from Kentucky), we normally:

- Get off I-75 at the Reagan (formerly Florida) Turnpike at Wildwood, FL.
- Take the Western Beltway (429) toll road when you near Orlando
- Take the Western Way into WDW property. Once on WDW property follow signs to get to Magic Kingdom. You have to go through the MK parking gate to get to the Poly. Stay to the right, tell the parking attendant you're going to the Poly rather than MK, and they'll tell you to go straight toward the Poly rather than veer left with the other lanes that actually go into the MK parking lot (the TTC). You have one more left after this, on to 7 Seas Drive, and the Poly is on that street.

I'm not sure which specific area you need construction info on. I know of no major construction going on along the Reagan Turnpike, though I could be wrong.

ETA: if by I 27, you mean Highway 27, I'd avoid that as much as possible. That same highway goes through my town in Kentucky and all the way up to Michigan. It is infamous for 2 things: 1) getting stuck behind slow-moving farm vehicles in 2-lane rural areas and 2) having endless stoplights in urban and even suburban areas.

You can always check each state's DOT site or 511 site to get construction along i-75.

Here's a list of each that I could find for every state that I know that i-75 meanders through.

I'm guessing the answer you want is on the I-75 construction from Wesley Chapel north for the next 30-35 miles up to almost Ocala which includes the Florida Turnpike exit. You can get details on the road widening here: http://www.mytbi.com/projects/ . The work is mostly at night with frequent lane closures. I have not been delayed by it, but have only traveled on two nights with active construction. I'm not sure Florida 27 will buy you much time here, but you can always jump over to 301 in Ocala and take that down to the turnpike if traffic is backing up on I-75.
