Project Overview
CFX is planning the Southport Connector Expressway as part of a broader, regional solution to help Move Poinciana. With the area’s fast and continuing growth, the expressway will make it easier to get where you need to go – including accessing major roads like Interstate 4 and Florida’s Turnpike. The Southport Connector Expressway will even help those who don’t use it – by taking traffic off Cypress Parkway.
CFX is investing in the Poinciana community – seeking solutions via the Southport Connector Expressway that could benefit everyone. The planned improvements will help relieve traffic tie-ups along Cypress Parkway – and more:
- Moving Poinciana: Elevated expressway in the middle of Cypress Parkway would let commuters and others making longer trips get to their destinations more quickly. That also would mean less traffic on the local road.
- Hybrid Elevated Expressway: CFX will build the elevated expressway on a combination of fill dirt with retaining walls largely from Poinciana Parkway to Magnolia Avenue, and there to Pleasant Hill Road largely elevated on bridge structure to maintain more open community views.
- Enhancing Safety: 5 miles of Cypress Parkway will be improved for pedestrians and motorists alike. The project will include a multi-use trail, improvements to eight (8) intersections and other upgrades – enhancing safety for everyone.
- Easier Local Travel: Cypress Parkway will be widened to six lanes, making travel easier for everyone.
- Community-minded Project: CFX will invest in landscaping and other possible amenities for the community.
