This is a heads-up for drivers and residents of Alafaya Woods: Starting October 29th, you'll need to allow extra travel time or find an alternate route, as one lane on Alafaya Woods Blvd close to Brielle Avenue will be shutting down temporarily. The City of Oviedo announced that these closures are due to needed repairs on a sewer pipe under the roadway.
If you live or work in the area, prepare for delays, construction noise, and many orange cones until the project is finished. The city says that if the weather is good and there are no unexpected problems, the lane should reopen by November 1. However, regular commuters know that construction timelines can change quickly.
While the inconvenience might not be significant for some, local traffic, school bus routes, and emergency services could be affected. The city urges drivers to follow reduced speed limits and traffic signals to protect workers fixing the roads.
Drivers should watch for detour signs and be careful around the construction zone, as safety should always come first.
