Ondich Road Closure & Detour Scheduled For Bridge Work As Part Of Wekiva Parkway Construction

January 2018

(APOPKA, FL) – Crews are scheduled Thursday night, January 11 to close Ondich Road west of Plymouth Sorrento Road as part of building the Wekiva Parkway (State Road 429). The scheduled closure and detour will take place from 11 p.m. - 7 a.m. Friday, January 12 for bridge work.

 

During the closure, traffic will be detoured via Effie Drive, Kelly Park Road and Plymouth Sorrento Road. Flaggers will direct traffic and electronic message boards are posted 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 January 4, 2016 on Wekiva Parkway Section 2B. This $79.6 million section will connect to Section 2A, located north of Haas Road between Plymouth Sorrento Road and County Road 435 (Mount Plymouth Road), and to Section 1B to the south. This section is scheduled to open to traffic on March 31, 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.
