The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) is in the design phase of the State Road 408 Westbound Capacity Improvements project, which is being developed to help improve traffic flow along this crucial corridor. More than 164,000 vehicles per day travel on SR 408, with a significant portion traveling westbound in the morning from east Orlando to reach downtown and Interstate 4. CFX is designing improvements that will provide an additional westbound travel lane from I-4 to Bumby Avenue and from SR 436 (Semoran Boulevard) to Goldenrod Road.
This project will match previous improvements made to SR 408 between Bumby Avenue and SR 436, providing a continuous five-lane section from Goldenrod Road to I-4.
Most of the work will occur within SR 408’s existing right of way.
Design start: March 2025
Anticipated design completion: Late 2026
About Public Involvement
Public involvement and interagency coordination will be an integral part of the design process, and opportunities for public participation will be provided.
