State Road 429 widening in Orange County to begin this summer
LAKE MARY, Fla. - The Central Florida Expressway Authority will soon begin to widen State Road 429 to six lanes (three lanes in each direction), between Tilden Road near Horizon West and State Road 414 in Apopka to improve traffic flow and relieve congestion.
Construction on this portion of the western beltway is expected to begin by summer 2021 and will also include sound walls to reduce traffic noise.
To minimize impact to motorists, the SR 429 widening project will be divided into three segments, each of which is anticipated to take approximately two years to complete:
The widening, anticipated to be complete by mid-2024, will be broken into three segments to minimize impact to motorists.
- Segment 1 – Late 2021: Tilden Road to the south of Florida’s Turnpike, 3.6 miles
- Segment 2 – Mid 2021: South of Florida’s Turnpike to West Road, 6.1 miles
- Segment 3 – Late 2021: West Road to State Road 414, 3.4 miles
