Downtown Orlando undergoing crucial infrastructure upgrades.
A major infrastructure project is set to begin on April 28, 2025, in Downtown Orlando, aiming to upgrade aging underground systems. Summerlin Avenue will see road closures and detours as crews replace 1.5 miles of pipeline, addressing issues stemming from a significant pipe burst incident in 2012. Local businesses express concerns about reduced foot traffic during the construction period, expected to last five months. The project will also enhance sewer and stormwater systems, ensuring Orlando’s infrastructure meets future growth needs, with completion projected by 2028.
In the heart of Orlando, a significant infrastructure project is kicking off on April 28, 2025, that’s bound to shake things up for commuters and local businesses alike. It’s all part of a plan to replace some very old underground systems that desperately need an upgrade to avoid any future mishaps. Remember the infamous pipe burst from 2012? This project is a direct response to that incident, where an 80-year-old, 20-inch water pipe burst and caused quite the mess in the area.
As the construction gears up, Summerlin Avenue will see a key section come to a standstill, making way for crews to replace a whopping 1.5 miles of aging pipeline. Prepare for some traffic changes if you’re traveling through the area! Westbound South Street is getting reduced to just one lane, causing a ripple effect for drivers.
For those heading south on Summerlin Avenue, you’ll have to navigate through a series of detours. Traffic will be rerouted via Pine Street, Thornton Avenue, and Palmer Street. Northbound drivers will find themselves guiding through Anderson Street, Mills Avenue, Jackson Street, Brown Avenue, Central Boulevard, and eventually back to Summerlin Avenue. Buckle up, folks—this detour adventure is expected to last an impressive five months!
