Today, the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) Board approved the 2040 Master Plan which will serve as CFX’s visionary blueprint for system improvements and new projects that best address the mobility needs of Central Florida. It also sets the policy for future operations and capital investment decisions and serves as the basis for CFX’s 5-Year Work Plans.
The plan identified approximately $2 billion of capacity and operational improvements for CFX’s expressway system including: additional capacity projects; interchange improvements; and renewal and replacement efforts. These investments are driven by the need to meet existing and anticipated future traffic demands as this region continues to develop and grow.
The 2040 Master Plan culminates a year-long process of community outreach, stakeholder interaction and technical analysis. Since starting the public engagement process in April 2015, the CFX team has met with local cities, counties, chambers of commerce and civic groups to define how best to collaborate over the next 25 years. In all, CFX held over 80 meetings, presentations and events that spanned four counties and 26 municipalities. The extensive feedback generated from these meetings has been essential to the development of the 2040 Master Plan.
