State Road 46 Barrier Wall Work Requires Lane Closure

Posted on April 11, 2019

As Part of Building the Wekiva Parkway

Crews are scheduled at night Monday, Apr. 15, through Wednesday, Apr. 17, to close westbound State Road (S.R.) 46 from Old McDonald Road to State Road (S.R.) 429. Traffic in both directions will alternate through one lane from 8 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. to allow crews to install barrier wall.

Electronic message boards have been posted. Flaggers will direct traffic. Please be advised that weather or other unexpected conditions could delay or prolong work.

This work is part of Wekiva Parkway Section 6, which began construction on Oct. 17, 2017. The six-mile stretch of largely elevated expressway will extend along the S.R. 46 corridor from the S.R. 429 interchange east of Camp Challenge Road to just west of Longwood-Markham Road.

The project includes a non-tolled, service road for local travel, a new, much higher bridge over the Wekiva River, and several wildlife bridges to allow animals to pass safely between the Seminole State Forest, Rock Springs Run State Reserve, and Lower Wekiva River Preserve.

A multi-use trail with scenic overlooks at the wildlife bridges will be included along the service road on this section. Work will include connector roads between remaining sections of C.R. 46A and S.R. 46 to maintain private property access. Work is scheduled to finish in 2021. Other project information can be found at wekivaparkway.com. Follow the project on Facebook and Twitter for real-time updates.

FDOT urges all drivers to stay alert and use caution while driving through or near construction zones. When driving, walking, or bicycling, remember to pay attention and follow the rules. Safety doesn’t happen by accident.
