Osceola Interchange/Road Permits

[peter11435]

Safe to assume the current exit will still be the primary exit once all these road changes are complete. Which would take you to BVD

The new interchange will be both entry and exit. The current auxiliary entrance/exit will become buses only.

Good to know! Thanks!

primary not really, since the new entrance road also includes exits with direct access to world drive and Osceola parkway east and west

Photo update as of Tuesday, January 13, 2018. Large steel overpass beams being set into place at the Osceola / Victory Way flyover. The line of cars are stopped at the traffic light, headed west on Osceola Parkway.

Here's a nice screen grab from Orange County Prop Site. This shows the detail of the new DHS entrance/exit. Shows in gold in center of map.

A new aerial view of the intersection fro, bio reconstruct. You can see that the traffic has been shifted onto the new outer lanes to make room for the new flyover that will take Osceola over Victory.

anyone have any new pics of this

 

[LieutLaww]

check bioreconstruct's twitter if there are new pics he will probably have them.

He should have a photo update in the next week or so. He's pretty consistent timing wise.

So will there be an exit onto North Victory Way seems a little ridiculous if it is omitted could easily be included.

Apparently it’s been omitted since the original plan.

Exit will be to East and westbound Osceola Parkway.

I agree. I keep looking at the permit drawings and the update pictures and keep trying to figure out why they did not add an exit from the loop to the ESPN entrance road. It could have a left turn to ESPN and a merge lane to Victory Way. The loop drops to near ground level in the middle.

There also doesn't seem to be a way to get from ESPN into DHS which seems odd.

From ESPN they will have to go up Victory Way, make a u-turn and then use the right turn lane entrance from Victory Way (YELLOW). But they could have also created a right turn from ESPN entrance road right before you go under entrance from Osceola and joined that entrance on the loop before it goes over Osceola (GREEN).

Many moons ago there was a plan for local traffic

This was exactly my thought would've been easy to include both an entrance and exit there! Seems backwards to being doing this much road reconfiguration and not just doing it correctly in the first place, rather than down the road doing an upgrade and causing further detours and impacts to traffic.

I’m not really sure there is enough traffic traveling between WWOS and DHS to justify the added expense.

The fact they cheeped out on the original entrance is why they are needing to spend the money now, amazed they can't just seem to figure out people don't like stops, especially on the buses.
