2-year project to widen SR 417 starts Monday
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - The Central Florida Expressway Authority on Monday will begin work on the last leg of a decade-long initiative to widen State Road 417, between Econlockhatchee Trail and Orange/Seminole County line.
The 3.2-mile project will expand SR 417 from four to six travel lanes (three lanes in each direction) and improve traffic flow at the SR 417 University Main Plaza. The University Boulevard ramp to southbound SR 417 and the northbound SR 417 ramp to University Boulevard will also be realigned as part of the work.
The $44.8 million project is expected to take approximately two years to complete, finishing in late 2020.
