State Road 429 (SR 429), also known as the Daniel Webster Western Beltway or Western Expressway, is a limited-access toll road built and maintained by the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) and Florida's Turnpike Enterprise. Its mainline currently extends 37.20 miles (59.87 km) from Interstate 4 (State Road 400) in Four Corners north to Kelly Park Road in Apopka. A stub section extends 3.14 miles (5.05 km) from CR 435 in Apopka to SR 46 in Sorrento. Control cities are Apopka and Tampa although the control cities for traffic on U.S. Highway 441 and Kelly Park Road at the northern entrances are now Orlando and Tampa. SR 429 was originally planned as a western half of State Road 417. The northern part of the 429 is called the Wekiva Parkway.
State Road 429 traverses some of the highest elevations in Orange County and is often within a few miles of the Lake Wales Ridge. The road peaks at Mile Marker 13 where on clear days it is possible to see the skyline of downtown Orlando to the northeast and Space Mountain, Cinderella Castle, Spaceship Earth (Epcot), The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and the Contemporary Resort of Walt Disney World to the southeast.
