CFX Teams Up with Jacobs and City of Orlando for STEAM Night

CFX joined the 2nd Annual Jacobs and City of Orlando STEAM Night, educating nearly 60 students from a City of Orlando after school program. Students learned more about connected and autonomous vehicles during this interactive night. Collaborating with our partner Dewberry, our team led an engaging hands-on activity. Students experienced a simulation where they assumed the role of autonomous vehicles navigating through an exciting obstacle course.

Construction Completed on the SR 538 Poinciana Parkway Capacity Improvements Project

Just in time for the holidays, CFX has completed construction on the SR 538/Poinciana Parkway project. Poinciana Parkway is now a four-lane, divided expressway from Ronald Reagan Parkway to County Road 580 / Cypress Parkway. The expanded roadway means shorter, more reliable travel times for motorists, as well as enhanced safety.

The Poinciana Parkway project included re-aligning the intersection at CR 580, building new bridges at Marigold Avenue and KOA Street, and installing two new ramps at the Marigold Avenue interchange. Click here to learn more about this project.

Holiday Driving Tips to Help You Arrive Safe

Whether you are stopping by, passing through, or driving locally, CFX would like to share some tips to help you and your family arrive at your destination safely and with little stress:

Avoid peak travel times whenever possible.
Always use extra care in construction zones, especially when workers are present.
Turn the radio down and ask passengers to help avoid unnecessary distractions.
Take breaks to avoid fatigue and drowsy driving.
Don’t rush, drive the speed limit, and allow extra travel time.
The holidays are about family, fun, special events, and travel. Responsible and safe driving habits will lead to a joyful and memorable year’s end. CFX wishes you and yours a happy and safe holiday season!

Congratulations winners! The 12 Days of E-PASS just concluded on Friday, December 15 and 12 lucky winners took home $100 in tolls.

As you travel for the Holiday Season, please remember to move over a lane. It’s the Florida law that requires drivers to move over when approaching the scene of an incident with stopped law enforcement, first responders, sanitation and utility service vehicles, tow trucks or wreckers, and maintenance or construction vehicles with warning lights.

If you can’t move over — or when on a two-lane road — slow to a speed that is 20 mph less than the posted speed limit. Slow down to 5 mph when the posted speed limit is 20 mph or less. When you fail to Move Over, you put yourself and others at risk; you could crash into a vehicle or worker.

Violating the Move Over law will result in a fine, fees, and points on your driving record. For more information, click here.
