Florida State Road 408
State Road 408 (SR 408), also known as the Spessard L. Holland East-West Expressway, is a tolled expressway running east–west through Orlando, Florida, United States. It is owned and operated by the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA), except for the westernmost mile (1.5 km), which is owned by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise as a connection to Florida's Turnpike. The road runs from the Turnpike in Gotha, east through downtown Orlando, where it intersects with Interstate 4, ending near State Road 50 at the University of Central Florida.
A short connection to State Road 417, originally part of the main line of SR 408, is now a spur of SR 408, and is sometimes labeled State Road 4080. The right-of-way where SR 408 once ended at State Road 50 west of State Road 435 (Kirkman Road) was once called State Road 4081.
