Daytime Detour on Kelly Park Road this week

Nightly Lane Closures and Daytime Detour on Kelly Park Road

Beginning tonight, October 25, 2016 crews will alternate traffic through one lane on Kelly Park Road between Round Lake Road and Plymouth Sorrento Road as part of building the Wekiva Parkway (State Road 429). The nightly lane closures are scheduled between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. through Monday, October 31, 2016. This will allow crews to pave and stripe Kelly Park Road and Plymouth Sorrento Road.

A daytime detour also will be in place at Kelly Park Road on Wednesday, October 26, 2016 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. This will allow crews to pour concrete for the northbound bridge deck. Traffic will be detoured via Round Lake Road, Ponkan Road and Plymouth Sorrento Road.

Flaggers will direct traffic and electronic message boards are 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 Authority’s $46.6 million project to build the Wekiva Parkway from Ponkan Road to a planned interchange at Kelly Park Road. Work began August 3, 2015. This project is among five parkway sections being built by CFX, totaling 10 miles and more than $270 million in construction costs. Once completed, the 25-mile parkway will complete Central Florida’s beltway, while helping to protect the natural resources surrounding the Wekiva River.
