The Road Ahead for Poinciana: Southport Connector Expressway Summer Outreach

Hundreds of Poinciana residents met with CFX this summer at local events to share updates on the Southport Connector Expressway PD&E Study. The proposed 15-mile expressway will improve connections to I-4 and Florida’s Turnpike, widen Cypress Parkway to six lanes, and make local road improvements to help ease congestion for daily commutes and short trips.

From government resource fairs to back-to-school expos, residents learned about the project in English and Spanish while sharing their traffic-related experiences with the project team. These conversations have guided the project study, ensuring the community’s needs are heard and reflected.

Looking ahead, the Southport Connector Expressway will be a part of a regional network supporting Poinciana and Osceola County’s rapid growth. Additional plans for this project include upgrading eight intersections, creating a multi-use trail, and adding a bridge structure to preserve community views residents know and love.

We look forward to continuing the conversation. Visit MovePoinciana.com to take the traffic congestion survey and learn more about the Southport Connector Expressway – including upcoming opportunities to weigh in.

Realtor Resource for CFX projects and E-PASS

This month, CFX was proud to participate in the 2025 State of Real Estate events hosted by the Orlando Regional Realtors Association for Orange and Seminole counties. During the events, CFX shared how we are building the roads that make homes, jobs, and communities accessible while laying the groundwork for Central Florida’s continued growth through our $4.2 billion, five-year work plan.

As part of the outreach, attendees received information about E-PASS, including the free E-PASS Sticker and the Uni transponder, which offers seamless travel across the eastern U.S. Realtors also learned about the Visitor Toll Pass program at Orlando International Airport, a convenient option for out-of-town clients.
