Default Re: Commute to Orlando?

Depending on which part of Orlando you need to go, its 60 miles (+ 5 miles) from TV.

Route 301, South to Florida Turnpike, then getting off on Rt 408 (toll) if going anywhere near downtown, or RT 528 (toll) if heading to Orlando Intl Airport is THE way to get there. It's an hour-plus no matter what you do.

The alternate routes should only be used in time of war. RT 441 (with various feeds into RT 46 & I-4, Rt 27, or RT 436) inolves a million traffic lights, perpetual construction and unreal congestion. If you plan to use these routes, pack a lunch.
