CURRENT SYSTEM
The Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA) is an expressway authority responsible for construction, maintenance and operation of toll roads in Orange County, Florida, which includes the city of Orlando. It was founded in 1963 for the purpose of building the SR 528 Martin B. Andersen Beachline Expressway (formerly Bee Line Expressway), and soon built the SR 408 Spessard Lindsay Holland East-West Expressway. It now manages a network of roads including large portions of a beltway around Orlando. The OOCEA operates an electronic toll collection system known as E-PASS, one of the first and most widely-used systems of its kind in the United States.
The latest addition to the OOCEA system is an extension of Maitland Boulevard (State Road 414) known as the John Land Apopka Expressway which fully opened on May 15, 2009. The project was inherited from the Florida Department of Transportation, which referred to it as the "Apopka Bypass". Planning is also underway for a northern extension of State Road 429 known as the Wekiva Parkway™. In addition, SR 408 is undergoing a massive overhaul including large sections of widening, the expansion of the Lake Underhill Bridge and the relocation of its two mainline toll plazas. The conversion of all mainline plazas to Express Lanes has already been completed.
