CFX releases new mobility plan outlining more than $4B in upcoming transportation projects

July 17, 2025

The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) recently approved its Five-Year Work Plan, outlining plans to circulate $4.2 billion through infrastructure and expansion projects critical to building an expansive mobility network. Construction on the initial projects will begin in 2026.

Between 2026 and 2030, CFX will target projects along the regional transportation network connecting Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties. The plan’s largest investment – $2.95 billion – will cover system expansion initiatives. These efforts will be backed by allocations of $410 million to improve the existing system and $338 million for interchange projects.

Notably, the plan includes provisions to build four new expressway corridors – State Route (SR) 516 Lake-Orange Expressway; SR 538 Poinciana Parkway Extension; SR 534 Phases 1, 2 and 3; and SR 414 Expressway Extension. The new corridors will significantly expand the network’s mobility and connectivity options.

The $410 million will cover a swathe of efforts, including construction along 30 centerline miles across eight projects, expanding overall capacity along several high-traffic roadways. As part of these efforts, CFX will resurface more than 57 centerline miles. The authority’s $338 million investment in interchange projects will improve three existing interchanges and build a new one.

The remaining funding allocated in the work plan will improve aspects of the region’s nearly 125-mile network. Among the highlighted projects, CFX will integrate renewable energy sources into the system to provide additional reliable power. The authority will also work to make its headquarters more building efficient, including updating CFX operations software.

The work plan details three studies focusing on the Southport Connector Expressway along SR 538, the Northeast Connector Expressway’s second phase along SR 515 and the Sanford Airport Connector along SR 417. The studies will inform CFX on how to give due consideration to environmental impacts and build alternatives.

Beyond the document’s five-year planning schedule, the authority will develop projects listed in the 2045 Master Plan. These initiatives will identify transportation needs in surrounding communities and strategize plans to address these needs in the future.
