ORLANDO, Fla. — A route you usually take from State Road 408 near downtown Orlando shut down Wednesday and won't open back up for up to three months.
Orlando officials said Mills Avenue from South Street to Anderson Street will be closed starting Wednesday so crews can install sewer infrastructure under the roadway.
Workers are also working to build a new lift station at the intersection of Mills and Anderson and install water lines in the area.

“The construction of the new lift station will replace two aging lift stations and provide more efficient and reliable sewer and wastewater service to downtown Orlando neighborhoods,” officials said in a press release.
The work is expected to last up to three months. The roadway is set to be reopened around February 2020.
Neighbor Greg Rebman summed up his feelings about the closure best: "I mean, it’s not a tragedy. But it's an inconvenience."
