APOPKA _ Beginning Tuesday, November 17, 2015 crews are scheduled to intermittently stop traffic on Kelly Park Road just west of Plymouth Sorrento Road as part of building the Wekiva Parkway (State Road 429).  Flaggers over the coming weeks will temporarily hold up traffic from 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. to allow large numbers of trucks hauling dirt to cross the side street.

Electronic message boards will be 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.

This work is part of the Central Florida Expressway’s $46.6 million project to build the Wekiva Parkway from Ponkan Road to a planned interchange at Kelly Park Road. Once completed, the 25-mile parkway will complete Central Florida’s beltway, while helping to protect the natural resources surrounding the Wekiva River.
