The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will open a 3.3-mile stretch of westbound lanes and a 3.8-mile stretch of eastbound lanes on State Road (S.R.) 46 between Round Lake Road and U.S. 441 in Mount Dora will open in their final configurations as soon as tonight as part of the Wekiva Parkway (S.R. 429) project.

The roadway in this area will go from two lanes to six lanes, which is expected to increase mobility for motorists.

Although the lanes will be in their permanent configurations, lane closures may be necessary in this area as crews work to complete the project. Please continue to use caution when driving through this active work zone.

The flyover bridge from southbound U.S. 441 to eastbound S.R. 46 is expected to open this fall.
