Road Closures for Upcoming Work


East Franklin Street

The City of Oviedo has closed East Franklin Street between the North Division St. roundabout and North Central Ave/SR 434 Monday, January 26, 2026 to Wednesday, February 4, 2026 for the Franklin Street trees improvement project. The project consists of the renovation of the tree vaults and installation of sabal palms. A single lane business entrance will be provided for the Ace Hardware along E. Franklin St. and Solary Park will be accessible through the parking lot adjacent to N. Division St. Maintenance of traffic will be in place. Please drive with caution if traveling in this area.

East Magnolia Street

East Magnolia Street closure has moved to February 4, 2026, due to pipe replacement and road reconstruction. The closure is expected to last approximately 6 to 8 months for the duration of the project.  Residents living in this area will still have access to the road, and local deliveries will be allowed.  Thru traffic will not be permitted down East Magnolia. We recommend that residents follow the posted detour signs and drive with caution when traveling in the impacted area for the safety of the workers. 

Thank you for your patience while the work in both of these areas is being conducted.

Car Fire Incident

On January 21, around 8 a.m., there were reports of black smoke showing in the parking lot at Mitchell Hammock Road and Aloma.  A-Shift firefighters immediately jumped into action and arrived on scene minutes after the first reports came in, to find a car completely engulfed in flames. Firefighters started to work to get the fire out, extinguishing the flames. All the training we post about was put into play as they pulled hose lines and saws to make sure the fire was completely extinguished. Thankfully there were no injuries.

eMicromobility Laws Graphic

eBikes/Motorcycles/Scooters/One-Wheels

We would like to address the concerns of our citizens when it comes to seeing kids in the roadways on eMobility devices. We have received messages from concerned drivers and parents about large groups of kids seemingly ‘taking over’ the roadways on these devices. Our officers are conducting traffic stops, talking to kids and parents, and issuing citations for these violations, and handing out informational pamphlets. We want to make everyone aware of safety and how these devices are supposed to be used. Reckless driving of these devices, such as impeding traffic, weaving in and out of traffic and driving the wrong way can lead to serious injury or death, which is something we want everyone to avoid. Please talk to your kids about how to safely operate them, wearing helmets, safety equipment and knowing the law.  

We have created a web page dedicated to information to review: CLICK HERE  

Click on the tab that says EMOBILITY SAFETY AND LAWS.  

If you see anyone operating these devices in an unsafe way, please contact the Oviedo Police Department at 407-971-5700 and speak directly with a dispatcher. Please provide your location and describe what you are seeing. If possible, please provide the direction of travel.

Let’s keep our roadways safe for everyone.
