View on Interactive Map

The C.R. 46A (H.E. Thomas Jr. Parkway) and Rinehart Road intersection improvement project increased traffic efficiency and reduced congestion onto the Interstate 4 (I-4) and C.R. 46A interchange. The enhancements increased capacity at the intersection by modifying select existing turn lanes and adding new turn lanes.

Improvements included:

  • Converting the existing eastbound through/right-turn lane on C.R. 46A to a through-only lane and adding two right-turn-only lanes for a total of three to southbound Rinehart Road.
  • Adding a second southbound right-turn lane on Rinehart Road to westbound C.R. 46A.
  • Adding a third lane to southbound Rinehart Road between C.R. 46A and Timacuan Boulevard.
  • Extending the northbound left-turn lanes on Rinehart Road to westbound C.R. 46A.
  • Extending a westbound left-turn lane on C.R. 46A to southbound Rinehart Road.

Construction began in fall of 2023 and reached completion in 2025.
