About the SR 408 Capacity Improvements Kirkman Road to Church Street PD&E Study

In September 2022, CFX began conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study for capacity improvements to SR 408 between Kirkman Road and Church Street.

More than 164,000 vehicles per day travel on SR 408 near downtown Orlando. This study will evaluate alternatives for improving traffic flow by adding an eastbound lane from Kirkman Road to Church Street and a westbound lane from John Young Parkway to Kirkman Road. Most of the work would occur within SR 408’s existing right of way.

CFX is developing and evaluating alternatives to determine a preferred alternative. All factors related to the design and location of the project are being considered including transportation needs, financial feasibility, social impacts, economic factors, environmental impacts, engineering analysis and right-of-way requirements.

Public Input

Public involvement and interagency coordination are integral to the study. CFX anticipates holding one public meeting during this six-month study. Details on the date and location of the public meeting will be posted once confirmed.
