About the SR 414 Expressway Extension Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study

In March 2020, the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) began a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study of the SR 414 Expressway Extension. The study has evaluated alternatives for a proposed elevated expressway extension of the tolled SR 414 (John Land Apopka Expressway) within the median of the existing SR 414 (Maitland Boulevard) from US 441 (Orange Blossom Trail) to SR 434 (Forest City Road), in Orange and Seminole counties. During peak travel times, drivers can spend nearly a half hour getting through the three signalized intersections along this portion of SR 414.

The proposed 2.8-mile project will provide a direct connection between the eastern end of the SR 414 (John Land Apopka Expressway) and Interstate 4 (I-4). Project alternatives involved various configurations of elevated, limited-access toll lanes within the median of the existing SR 414 (Maitland Boulevard) to provide needed capacity between US 441 and SR 434 while maintaining the existing local access lanes.

The proposed improvements also include reconfiguring the existing SR 414 (Maitland Boulevard) to accommodate the SR 414 toll facility while maintaining two local access lanes in each direction of SR 414. The 24-month study, coordinated with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), analyzed intersection improvements, bridge modifications at Lake Bosse and Little Wekiva River, stormwater management facilities, pedestrian and bicycle needs, and access management modifications. A No-Build Alternative will also be considered.
