Traffic Advisory: State Road (S.R.) 434 Reopens to Traffic

Posted on

North side of Oviedo

State Road (S.R.) 434 on the north side of Oviedo is reopened to traffic ahead of schedule. Crews finished making repairs Friday afternoon around 4:33 p.m. The original goal was to reopen the road by Saturday morning.

The roadway had been closed since Saturday afternoon, June 2, at Laurel Oaks Court, due to an issue with an old drainage structure that runs under the road. A portion of the drainage structure collapsed, which opened up a three-foot wide hole. For safety reasons, the entire roadway was closed at that location and detours were set up.

On Tuesday, June 5, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) issued an emergency contract to Southland Construction, which included a 72-hour window to fix what’s under the road, and reopen the road to traffic. The contract amount was $237,000. Construction work began Wednesday morning. Other construction work, not related to the travel sections of the road, will still occur.

FDOT extends thanks to those commuters and residents who drove safely and followed the detours while the emergency repairs took place.

New Traffic Signal Coming to State Road 434 and Tarry Town Trail in Longwood

Posted on


The Florida Department of Transportation will be installing a new traffic signal at the intersection of State Road (S.R.) 434 and Tarry Town Trail/Roxboro Road beginning in January. The safety improvement project involves construction of single mast arms for the signals, as well as extending the left turn lanes at the intersection to meet current design standards.
The FDOT anticipates its contractor to install the drilled shafts for the mast arms in early January and place the mast arms in early February. Construction work is expected to occur both day and night and will involve outside lane closures at the intersection.
Project updates are available on www.cflroads.com. Please note schedules may change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
