Other gopher tortoises also since have been relocated for protection. Wildlife Protections - Crews in January 2013 relocated 107 gopher tortoises to a state-licensed recipient site. Trail construction will begin in 2017.Ĭonservation - Section 4 lies on the 1,600-acre, former Neighborhood Lakes property, one of several large parcels purchased for conservation as mandated by the 2004 Wekiva Parkway & Protection Act. Multi-use Trail: A future trail will parallel Section 4 and connect to the planned Lake-Wekiva Trail and an extension of the West Orange Trail. This temporary connection will be removed once the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) builds the adjacent Section 2A. The section includes a partial interchange at SR 46, four bridges and a temporary ramp at CR 435.

Project Description: This expressway is the first in Central Florida to feature all electronic tolling for the greatest customer convenience. The FDOT started first on this four-lane section of parkway because all of the property needed had been acquired. SECTION OVERVIEW: The Section 4A and 4B design-build projects form 3.14 miles of expressway from County Road 435 (Mount Plymouth Road), north of Haas Road, to State Road 46 east of Camp Challenge Road. The parkway will include a 10-mile, multi-use trail along portions primarily in Lake and Seminole Counties. The parkway will include extensive wildlife bridges, will be largely elevated and will relocate a small portion of County Road 46A out of the Seminole State Forest to reduce conflicts between vehicles and wildlife. Non-tolled, one-lane service roads for local trips will parallel the parkway in portions of Lake County and Seminole County.Īuthorized by the 2004 Wekiva Parkway & Protection Act, parkway development has included conserving more than 3,400 acres of land. The Wekiva Parkway will provide travel alternatives, enhance safety and relieve US 441 and other area roads of traffic congestion. The parkway will feature all electronic tolling to keep traffic moving and for the greatest customer convenience. Work on this first 3.14-mile parkway stretch began in February 2013, with a construction cost of $25.48 million.ĪDDITIONAL PROJECT DETAILS: The 25-mile Wekiva Parkway is a collaboration between the Florida Department of Transportation, Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise and the Central Florida Expressway Authority. The $1.6 billion Wekiva Parkway will complete Central Florida’s beltway, while helping to protect the natural resources surrounding the Wekiva River.
