<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">What is the Arnold Palmer Expressway section?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">In June 2017, CFX named the section of SR-408 from Kirkman Road to Clark Road the "Arnold Palmer Expressway" in honor of the late golf legend who made Orlando his winter home for nearly 50 years.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can I avoid SR-408 tolls completely?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, SR-50 (Colonial Drive) runs parallel to SR-408 as a free alternative. However, Colonial Drive carries up to 45,000 vehicles daily in some sections and experiences significant stop-and-go traffic, making SR-408 much faster for east-west travel.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">How much does it cost to drive SR-408 daily?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">For a typical downtown commute using 2-3 toll plazas daily, expect $2-4 per day with E-PASS, or $4-8 with Pay By Plate. Volume discounts can reduce this by up to 25% for frequent users.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">What happened to the old I-4/SR-408 interchange?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">The old "double trumpet" interchange was completely rebuilt at a cost of nearly $1 billion. The new interchange features elevated flyover ramps up to 120 feet high, eliminating previous traffic bottlenecks and providing smoother traffic flow.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Is there cash reload available on SR-408?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, the Conway Toll Plaza features Reload Lanes where you can get a FREE E-PASS sticker or add funds to your E-PASS account using cash or credit/debit cards. The reload lanes operate 6 AM to 10 PM daily.</p>
