Site Navigation Alabama Florida Georgia Louisiana Mississippi North Carolina South Carolina Tennessee     Holland East-West Expressway Constructed from 1967 to 1971, the Holland East-West Expressway opened first as a bypass for Florida 50 (Colonial Drive). Recent extensions joins Florida 408 Toll with Florida's Turnpike near its interchange with Florida 429 Toll (Daniel Webster Western Beltway) and Florida 50 east of Florida 417 Toll (Central Florida Greeneway. Much of the road has an urban feel, as the freeway passes through dense built-up areas in the Orlando city limits. Increases in traffic due in part to the aggressive growth of the greater Orlando area necessitates expansion and modernization of the 1970s roadway. New high speed toll lanes, increased capacity, and new highway lighting are parts of the overall improvement project underway in 2005-07.
