Wekiva Parkway

Authorized in 2004 by the Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act (Chapter 369, Part III, F.S.), the Wekiva Parkway (the Project) will complete the beltway around northwest metropolitan Orlando, Florida. The proposed 25-mile tolled expressway will connect to the existing S.R. 417 at I-4, providing an alternative to I-4 and relieving S.R. 46, US 441 and other area roads of traffic congestion resulting from intensifying growth and travel between Orange, Lake and Seminole Counties.

The TIFIA loan will finance the CFX portion of the Project which consists of approximately 10 miles of the overall project to be constructed in 5 segments (CFX Project).   The remaining 17 miles of the Project will be constructed by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and will connect directly to the CFX section(s).  It is important to note that the CFX Project will have independent utility and will begin generation of revenues prior to the completion of the entire Project.
