I am amazed at what people think is bad traffic. Traffic here really is nothing even in high season. Only time I have seen issues on 301 is when there is a wreck or holiday traffic on the turnpike as people cut over to 44 to get to 75 north. Otherwise it is a breeze going on 301. I am south of 44 and travel 301 often. The extension of Marsh Bend will mainly be used by those in Marsh Bend and DeLuna. Now these residents go to Warm Springs and over to 301, so really no increase when it opens up other than the new homes. 301 from the turnpike south to Coleman is supposed to be expanded to 4 lanes at some point in the future.

The traffic is consistently awful from 301 N with lines of heavy trucks ruining the road and making it awful to navigate. If you’re S of 44 you feel it all day going toward 466 and 466A. That’s a fact.

Funny...BUT, a new COSTCO actually is going to be built in Clermont. So it'll be a bit closer than having to drive to Orlando.

The residents of Marsh Bend and DeLuna do not go west on Warm springs to 301 north, they go east to Meggisson and then north. Once this is open and the Fenney Hammock Village, the non-village family homes and new industrial park there will be a mess, it's already getting very hard to get onto 301 from Warm Springs especially to go south. At the rate it's going the 4-lane improvement will take years and there will be a bottleneck at the Turnpike until they re-do the ramps which will be state construction and they are slow. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
