WELCOME

On behalf of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX), thank you for your interest in the Wekiva Parkway design and construction projects. The Wekiva Parkway (State Road (S.R.) 429) is a cooperative effort between these agencies and the Florida's Turnpike Enterprise.

 

The Wekiva Parkway (S.R. 429) will connect to S.R. 417, completing the beltway around Central Florida, while helping to protect the natural resources surrounding the Wekiva River. This estimated $1.6 billion project includes $500 million of non-toll road improvements including:

 

  • Widening seven (7) miles of S.R. 46 in Lake and Seminole Counties
  • Rebuilding the U.S. 441/S.R. 46 interchange in Mount Dora
  • Shifting the County Road (C.R.) 46A connection to S.R. 46 so wildlife can move more safely between habitats
  • Providing non-tolled, one-lane service roads parallel to the parkway in part of east Lake and Seminole Counties 
  • Building a 10-mile, multi-use trail along portions of the parkway in east Lake and Seminole counties

 

In 2022, nearly 23 miles of the parkway were open to traffic, and all of the non-tolled, roadway improvements had been made.

 

The entire Wekiva Parkway is scheduled to be open to traffic by fall of 2023.

The 25-mile tolled expressway will provide travel alternatives and relieve U.S. 441, S.R. 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 includes numerous wildlife bridges, and will be largely elevated to reduce accidents between vehicles and wildlife.
