Wekiva Parkway Section 7A Construction Ramps Up

Posted on April 23, 2018


Construction activities will increase on State Road (S.R.) 46, west of Sanford during the week of April 22, and motorists should be alert for large construction equipment and vehicles entering and exiting multiple areas of the work zone. The work is for the expansion of the Wekiva Parkway project.

Activities include installing drainage pipe under the Florida Gas Transmission line along the north side of S.R. 46 west of Longwood-Markham Road. Other significant utility work will include Florida Power & Light installing lines underground on both sides of S.R. 46. Work also includes driving sheet pile for retaining walls along the north side of S.R. 46 across from Lake Markham Road.

The contractor has safely relocated gopher tortoises – a protected, keystone species – to a state licensed recipient site. Work is continuing and, so far, 98 of the reptiles have been excavated from 148 burrows. Once the tortoises are safely excavated, crews are clearing and grubbing these areas.

Drivers should exercise extra caution within the construction zone. FDOT asks that you pay attention to speed limit signs and all construction signs and safety devices.

Construction is scheduled to finish in 2022. Please note schedules may change due to weather or other circumstances. Updates are available on wekivaparkway.com, cflroads.com and by following the project on Facebook and Twitter (@WekivaPKWYinfo).

Media inquiries should contact Steve Olson, FDOT Communications Manager, at [email protected], or by telephone at 386-943-5479.

I-4 Ultimate: New HD Cameras Give Live Look at I-4 Construction

Posted on January 20, 2017

FDOT I-4
Two new live high-definition I-4 Ultimate construction cameras are now available for viewing.i-4 hd cameras 1.20.2017
In January, cameras were placed at the Maitland Boulevard (State Road 414) and Interstate 4 (I-4) interchange, and at the Kirkman Road and I-4 interchange. View video streams from the new cameras at http://fdot.tips/i4camera, or by visiting the I-4 Ultimate website and clicking on “Florida 511 & Live Traffic.”
The Maitland camera, situated in the Southwest quadrant of the interchange, is tracking construction progress at the interchange and of the new pedestrian bridge, which construction is slated to begin this year.
The Kirkman camera is situated high above the International Drive area atop the SkyCoaster at Fun Spot America. It gives users a view of the interchange construction and the new Grand National Drive overpass.
The two cameras join the existing camera that monitors the State Road 408 and I-4 interchange construction in downtown Orlando.
The I-4 Ultimate project is rebuilding 21 miles of Interstate 4 (I-4) from west of Kirkman Road in Orange County to east of State Road 434 in Seminole County, adding two new dynamic tolled Express Lanes in each direction, replacing more than 140 bridges, reconfiguring 15 major interchanges and reconstructing the entire roadway. Learn more about the I-4 Ultimate project or sign up for advance construction alerts by email or text at www.i4Ultimate.com.
Questions? Please contact the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Public Information Office, 386-943-5473 / [email protected].
The FDOT urges all motorists to use caution near any road construction. Please slow down and stay alert when driving through work zones.
