Florida's Turnpike

Florida's Turnpike Enterprise operates the western-most eight miles as the Beachline Expressway West and the eastern 22 miles as the Beachline East Expressway, whileCFX operates from milepost eight to milepost 31. The Beachline West begins at Interstate 4 near the International Drive resort area. As a result, traffic is primarily tourists traveling... around the various hotels, tourist attractions and restaurants, as well as Orlando International Airport. House Bill 385 became effective on July 1, 2005, changing the Martin Andersen Bee Line Expressway to the Martin Andersen Beachline Expressway in an effort to spur tourism and promote Central Florida beaches. On july 1, 2014, the Turnpike purchased the eastern end of Toll 528 -- Beachline East Expressway, a 22-mile facility, from the Florida Department of Transportation. The Beachline East extends east from State Road 520 in Orange County for six miles into Brevard County, where it splits into two branches. The seven-mile northeast branch becomes State Road 407 and extends to a connection with State Road 405, while the nine-mile southeast branch continues as SR 528 to a connection with the Bennett Causeway at US 1.Read More
