(SORRENTO) - Crews are scheduled to alternate traffic in both directions through one lane on Coronado Somerset Drive east of Round Lake Road beginning Monday, August 15, 2016. The work is part of building Section 2C of the Wekiva Parkway (State Road 429). The single lane closure, scheduled from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. through Saturday, August 27, 2016, will allow crews to install pipe across the road.

Flaggers and electronic message boards will be on site to alert drivers. Bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances could delay or prolong work. Motorists are urged to use caution in the construction area for their safety and that of the work crews.

The Central Florida Expressway Authority began construction May 2, 2016 on Wekiva Parkway Section 2C. This $49.48 million section stretches from the Lake County-Orange County line to a planned loop interchange at SR 46 east of Round Lake Road. This section is slated to open to traffic in January 2018.

This project is among five parkway sections being built by CFX, totaling 10 miles and more than $270 million in construction costs. Once completed, the 25-mile parkway will complete Central Florida’s beltway, while helping to protect the natural resources surrounding the Wekiva River.
