Site Navigation Alabama Florida Georgia Louisiana Mississippi North Carolina South Carolina Tennessee     Maitland Boulevard John Land Apopka Expressway At present Florida 414 follows all of Maitland Boulevard, a partially controlled access arterial, between U.S. 17 & 92 at Maitland and U.S. 441 (Orange Blossom Trail) at Apopka. Upgrades to the six-lane arterial include construction of an interchange with Florida 434 (Forest City Road) and the building of a new southbound off-ramp to U.S. 17 & 92 at the eastern terminus. Construction began in Winter 2007 on the John Land Apopka Expressway. Named after Apopka's mayor of 50 years, John Land, the new toll road extends Florida 414 west from U.S. 441 to junction Florida 429 Toll (Daniel Webster Western Beltway). Completion of the six-mile extension is planned for 2009. Phase two of the Florida 414 Toll project extends the designation northwest to a U.S. 441 (Orange Blossom Trail) return in west Apopka. Funding for this stretch of roadway has yet to be secured, but designs are already finalized. See Florida 429 Toll (Daniel Webster Western Beltway) for additional details on how the Apopka Expressway incorporates Florida 429 Toll and the planned Wekiva Parkway. Florida 414 extends west of U.S. 441 (Orange Blossom Trail) as Florida 414 Toll to Florida 429 Toll (Western Beltway) south of central Apopka. Completion of the easternmost stretch is scheduled for 2009. Future construction joins Florida 414 Toll & 429 Toll along a four-mile overlap northwest to U.S. 441 west of central Apopka.
