Apopka City Commission Meeting · 2026-04-15 · agenda_item

The City of Apopka is planning emergency roadway repairs on Wolf Creek Court, which was built in 1986. The road has been settling and cracking, with a significant depression forming since 2025. Geotechnical studies suggest the issue is related to soil settlement near a relic sinkhole, which has also damaged the sanitary sewer line. The proposed repairs involve excavating the soil, installing filter fabric and reinforcement, backfilling with earth, and adding a lightweight manufactured fill before repaving and replacing the curb and gutter. This project is currently under review for emergency designation and ratification of costs. The work will require closing the roadway for approximately three weeks. This project will likely involve site clearing, excavation, fill placement, underground utility repair, and final paving. Local contractors, suppliers, and trades involved in heavy civil construction, utility work, and paving could find opportunities. Reaching out early, before final bid processes, may offer an advantage.
