WELCOME
On behalf of the Florida Department of Transportation and the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority, thank you for your interest in the Wekiva Parkway design and construction projects. The Wekiva Parkway (State Road 429) is a cooperative effort between these agencies and the Florida's Turnpike Enterprise.
The Wekiva Parkway (SR 429) would connect to SR 417, completing the beltway around northwest metropolitan Orlando. This estimated $1.7 billion project includes $500 million of non-toll road improvements including:

The 25-mile tolled expressway will provide an alternative to Interstate 4, and relieve US 441, SR 46 and other area roads of traffic congestion resulting from growth and travel between Orange, Lake and Seminole Counties.
Authorized in 2004 by the Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act (Chapter 369, Part III, F.S.), this expressway has been heralded as a shining example for transportation planning through an environmentally sensitive area. Development of the Wekiva Parkway has included setting aside more than 3,400 acres of land for conservation. The parkway also will include numerous wildlife bridges, and will be largely elevated to reduce accidents between vehicles and wildlife. |
