Project Description- South of OBT to South of Ivanhoe Blvd, Design- FY 2003/2012, Right of Way- through FY 2014, Construction- begins FY 2016
The Interchange I'm guessing it setting up for the future projects.

Just a few more weeks and they should have the last lift of asphalt done on the 408 JYP area. Then all of the west side to the Turnpike will be done. It looks so much better.

Exactly my friend!

Did you all hear that the OOCEA is scaling back their 5-year plan, because of low funding for all the projects? The ones I heard that are getting cut are: SR 417/Turnpike Interchange, SR 414 Apopka Bypass north of SR 429 to US 441, adding lanes to SR 408 around the Goldenrod area, and there are a few more. Some of these are a huge blow for traffic in the Orlando area.

Don't know if any of you have seen this. It's pretty cool. Keep in mind this is 10 years or so away.

I think that the longstanding tolls on the 408 & possibly 417 should be taken down if those roads are paid for. let the people who use the 429 and any expansions pay for those. They shouldn't be paid for by people going from downtown to 436.
I dont think they will ever take down the tolls on the 408 and 417. To widen the 408 alone between Tampa Ave and Hiawassee and put up a whole new toll plaza is about $73 million.
Also the tolls at the mainline plazas on the 429 are already at $1 and that thing is still not finish on the south end.

Exactly. The current user tolls are paying for all the improvements, widening etc of existing roads just fine. But when developers around Nona or Ocoee want new interchanges so they can market their new developments ... it's difficult to ask the person who drives on the existing stretches to pick up the tab for something solely intended to profit someone else.
Correct me if I am wrong. But, I think the Lake Nona Interchange on SR 417 was paid for by the developer.

Downtown Orlando Project Discussion

From what I have read, most of this project especially phase I is going to be elevated. With something like 20 bridges or so and very few on and off ramps, I see little commercial development in this area just the planned residential neighborhoods. The interchange plans for US 441 and the existing Maitland Blvd look to flow very well. This going to be a very welcomed road when everything is done.
