Xpress 400
Xpress 400 is the current plan for express toll lanes on Interstate 4 through Orlando, Florida, to supplement the four free lanes in each direction. The lanes, two in each direction, would stretch roughly from Longwood to Universal Orlando, and would use electronic toll collection. The name comes from the state road number for I-4, SR 400 .
Access is planned at the following locations. Slip ramps access the leftmost lanes of the main roadways, and thus have no immediate access to interchanges. "Electronic toll points" would be located along the lanes between each access point, so an accurate toll could be charged. This toll would depend on congestion on the main lanes.
- Slip ramps - eastbound on/westbound off west of Kirkman Road
- Eastbound on/westbound off at Kirkman Road
- Slip ramps - all directions near Conroy Road
- Slip ramps - eastbound off/westbound on near Orange Blossom Trail
- All directions at South Street
- Eastbound on/westbound off at Ivanhoe Boulevard
- Slip ramps - eastbound off/westbound on east of Lee Road
- Slip ramps - eastbound off/westbound on east of Maitland Boulevard
- Eastbound off/westbound on at Central Parkway
- Slip ramps - eastbound off/westbound on east of SR 434
