Osceola Parkway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Osceola Parkway, signed as County Road 522 since around 2003 (and originally planned as SR 424), is a 12 mile long toll road extending east-west across the northern boundary of Osceola County, Florida, USA roughly paralleling the border with Orange County. It connects Florida's Turnpike with the Walt Disney World Resort, and is maintained by Osceola County. Only the center section is tolled; the rest includes mainly at-grade intersections. A large portion of the Osceola Parkway was once called Dart Boulevard.
The road was opened to the public in 1995. Although Osceola Parkway was built across Interstate 4 into the Walt Disney World Resort, an interchange with that freeway (Exit 65, Old Exit 26C/D) did not open until 2001. The ramps with the exit to nearby SR 536 are interspersed such that traffic going on to I-4 from SR 536 cannot directly exit onto Osceola Parkway, and vice versa.
The Parkway has an electronic toll collection system, known as O-PASS, and also accepts E-PASS and SunPass accounts from toll agencies elsewhere in Florida.
