In February 2021, CFX began the capacity improvements of SR 538/Poinciana Parkway to create a divided four-lane expressway from Ronald Reagan Parkway to CR 580/Cypress Parkway. The newly improved parkway makes it easier and faster for residents to access regional transportation networks, theme parks, and the Orlando metro area. The 7-mile project began in February 2021 and was completed in December 2023.
The project included re-aligning the intersection with CR 580/Cypress Parkway, building new bridges at KOA Street, adding new bridges and two additional ramps at the existing Marigold Avenue interchange, and much more. See the latest release for more details.
