The Wekiva Parkway features all electronic tolling for the greatest customer convenience. There are no toll plazas, so motorists don’t have to slow down or stop to pay their tolls. There will be a toll gantry on this section.

Nearly 30 years in the making, the Wekiva Parkway is a cooperative effort between CFX, the Florida Department of Transportation and Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise. The five CFX Wekiva Parkway sections, located in Orange County and a small portion in Lake County, total 10 miles and more than $270 million in construction costs.
