3 minute read
Two of Central Florida’s toll roads are closed by crashes this Sunday morning, and they are the whole traffic story as of the 07:20 FL511 check. Northbound SR-429 (the Wekiva Parkway) is closed in Orange County, and southbound SR-417 is closed in Orange County — in both cases, Florida 511 reports all lanes blocked. Everything below is as Florida 511, the state’s official traffic service, listed it at 07:20 a.m. on Sunday, November 15; conditions change quickly, and this desk’s afternoon run will re-check the list.
SR-429 northbound: all lanes blocked before Mile Marker 35.6
Florida 511 lists a crash in Orange County on SR-429 North, before MM 35.6, with all lanes blocked. The event was first listed at 6:54 a.m. and last updated at 7:12 a.m., and FL511 rates its severity Major. Northbound drivers on the Wekiva Parkway’s Orange County stretch — the corridor serving the Apopka side of northwest Orange County — should expect to be turned off the road or held until the closure clears, and should take a surface route rather than queue for the parkway. FL511 has not posted a reopening time, and this desk does not guess one.
SR-417 southbound: all lanes blocked before Mile Marker 13.0
Florida 511 lists a multi-vehicle crash in Orange County on SR-417 South, before MM 13.0, with all lanes blocked. The event was first listed at 5:39 a.m. and last updated at 7:02 a.m.; severity is also rated Major. That stretch of SR-417 carries the south Orange County corridor toward Lake Nona and the airport side of the county — southbound drivers should leave the toll road early and use surface streets, and anyone heading for Orlando International Airport from the north or east should allow substantial extra time or approach on SR-528 instead, which had no closure listed at the check.
On I-4: one ramp lane blocked, shoulders elsewhere
I-4 itself is open in both directions, with three smaller items on the FL511 list. Westbound I-4 has police activity in Orange County before MM 68/SR-535, with the off-ramp right lane blocked (listed 5:34 a.m., updated 6:39 a.m.; FL511 notes a Road Ranger ahead and advises drivers to move over or slow down). Two disabled vehicles are listed eastbound — before MM 67/SR-536, and before MM 72/SR-528 with the right shoulder blocked — and a third on westbound I-4 in Osceola County before MM 62/World Drive, right shoulder blocked. Florida’s Turnpike northbound also has planned construction at the ramp to Exit 267B (S.R. 50, Ocoee), off-ramp right lane blocked.
What is clear
At the 07:20 check, FL511 listed no events at all in Seminole County, no events on SR-408, and no congestion alerts anywhere in the state list; its alerts page read “There are no alerts at this time.” Sunday-morning drivers not using SR-429 northbound or SR-417 southbound have an open network — for now. This evening’s picture, plus the week’s I-4 project closures, is in this desk’s other coverage today: FDOT’s overnight ramp closures at the Sand Lake Road interchange, November 17–19, and the full eastbound I-4 closure at ChampionsGate on November 23.

Sources & notes
Key facts in this article were checked against:
- Florida 511 (FDOT) — Traffic Events list, checked live at 07:17–07:20 a.m. ET, Sunday, November 15, 2026 — the SR-429 and SR-417 closures, start and update times, severity ratings, the I-4 and Turnpike items, and the empty Seminole County, SR-408 and congestion searches are all as that official list showed them at the check. FL511’s travel-times page did not load during the check, so no travel times are quoted.
- No cause, fault or injury information is reported here because FL511’s listings do not state any; this desk reports incidents only as official sources state them.
