ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – If you drive in Central Florida, there’s one combination of roadways that almost always sparks frustration: State Road 429 and Florida’s Turnpike. For years, drivers have associated this interchange with heavy congestion and despite major construction projects meant to ease the flow, backups remain a serious problem.
On today’s stream, I’ll be taking Results-1 out to the west side of Orange County to take a closer look at what’s happening at this critical interchange. Recent construction aimed to improve traffic flow and safety, but commuters continue to experience long delays, particularly during peak travel hours.
The goal is to see firsthand what improvements have been made and why traffic is still piling up. We’ll break down what drivers are dealing with in real time and explore whether the fixes are working as intended or if more solutions may be needed.
For thousands of drivers who rely on SR-429 and the Turnpike daily, this interchange is a lifeline for getting to work, school, and home. But with growth booming across Central Florida, the pressure on this area continues to mount.
Join me as we navigate through the interchange, highlight the changes, and talk about what’s causing the continuation of this traffic headache.
