Reams Road Reopened to Local Traffic

Orange County, Fla. (October 13, 2022) – For the first time since Hurricane Ian moved through Central Florida, Reams Road is open to traffic.

Crews from Orange County Public Works Roads and Drainage Division removed the barricades and reopened the road Thursday afternoon after flood water receded far enough to make the road passable.  

Variable message signs stating “CAUTION. WATER ON THE ROAD AHEAD!” will be placed at the intersections of Floridian Place and Reams Road; and at Reams Road and Bay Court. Drivers are urged to adhere to the signs when using Reams Road and to be attentive to conditions along the road.
