Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study:

About the SR 417 Capacity Improvements from SR 528 to SR 408 PD&E Study

The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) is performing a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study of the State Road 417 (Central Florida GreeneWay) Capacity Improvements from SR 528 (Martin B. Andersen Beachline Expressway) to SR 408 (Spessard L. Holland East-West Expressway).

These improvements would match the ongoing capacity improvements of 21 miles of SR 417 from International Drive to SR 528.

The study is evaluating the alternatives of a proposed widening of SR 417 from SR 528 to SR 408, with the potential to incorporate one additional Flex Lane in both directions.

Additionally, the PD&E Study will evaluate and recommend an interim condition of incorporating Flex Lanes with and without the outside widening of the seven-mile stretch of SR 417.

A preliminary noise study will be conducted as part of this PD&E study.

The goals of the SR 417 Capacity Improvements PD&E Study include:

• Enhance mobility for the area’s growing population and economy by providing additional transportation infrastructure.
• Provide consistency with local plans and policies.
• Add future capacity to SR 417 by incorporating Flex Lanes.
• Match improvements of other segments of SR 417.
