Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study:

SR 429 Capacity Improvements from Tilden Road to Seidel Road

The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) is performing a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study for the State Road (SR) 429 (Daniel Webster Western Beltway) Capacity Improvements. The study corridor extends along SR 429 from Tilden Road to Seidel Road in Orange County.

The PD&E Study will analyze and evaluate the proposed widening of SR 429 from Tilden Road to Seidel Road. Proposed improvements include the inside widening of SR 429 from four lanes to six lanes and the addition of wider median shoulders, known as Flex Lanes, that can temporarily accommodate additional traffic during emergency response events. A preliminary noise study will also be conducted as part of this PD&E Study. These improvements are like the ongoing capacity improvements on SR 429 from Tilden Road to SR 414 (Apopka Expressway).

Study goals include the following:

• Enhancing mobility for the region’s growing population and economy by providing additional transportation infrastructure.
• Providing consistency with local plans and policies.
• Promoting regional connectivity.
• Enhancing evacuation and emergency services response.
• Adding future capacity by incorporating Flex Lanes.

Study Participation

We value your input. Public involvement and interagency coordination are integral to the PD&E Study process, and opportunities for public participation will be provided. CFX anticipates holding an Alternatives Public Workshop in February 2025 as part of this study.
