The CFX said this paving work is for the first segment of the S.R. 417 Corridor Widening Project, which will ultimately expand the expressway to six lanes of travel — adding a lane in each direction.

The first portion of the project targets S.R. 417 from International Drive to John Young Parkway, according to the CFX.

Construction started in February and is expected to last 2 1/2 years.
