On behalf of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX), thank you for your interest in the Wekiva Parkway design and construction projects. The Wekiva Parkway (State Road (S.R.) 429) is a cooperative effort between these agencies and the Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise. The Wekiva Parkway (S.R. 429) connects to Interstate 4 and S.R. 417, completing the beltway around Central Florida, while helping to protect the natural resources surrounding the Wekiva River. This estimated $1.6 billion project included $500 million of non-toll road improvements: Widened seven (7) miles of S.R. 46 in Lake and Seminole Counties Rebuilt the U.S. 441/S.R. 46 interchange in Mount Dora Shifted the County Road (C.R.) 46A connection to S.R. 46 so wildlife can move more safely between habitats Provided non-tolled, one-lane service roads parallel to the parkway in part of east Lake and Seminole Counties Built a 10-mile, multi-use trail along portions of the parkway in east Lake and Seminole counties The final portion of the Wekiva Parkway opened on January 27, 2024, thereby completing Central Florida’s beltway.
