SR 528, the Beachline Expressway, is a cashless toll road from I-4 in Orlando east past Orlando International Airport to the Space Coast. Florida's Turnpike runs the west end from I-4 to Boggy Creek Road and the east end from SR 520 to US 1, and the Central Florida Expressway Authority runs the 23 miles in between.
Who Operates State Road 528?
The Beachline has two operators. The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) says it operates the 23 miles from Boggy Creek Road to State Road 520, while Florida's Turnpike operates the westernmost 8 miles between I-4 and Boggy Creek Road and the easternmost 15 miles between SR 520 and US 1. Added together, those segments total 46 miles. That split matters because each operator sets its own tolls and publishes its own rate sheet.

How Much Are the Tolls on the Beachline Expressway?
Tolls depend on where you enter and exit and on how you pay. CFX charges E-PASS and other transponder customers less than Pay By Plate customers, and Florida's Turnpike does the same for SunPass versus Toll-By-Plate. The table below lists 2-axle (passenger car) rates at the main toll points, taken from each operator's rate sheet effective July 1, 2026. The Dallas main plaza is shared, so a car pays both the CFX share and the FDOT share there.

Is SR 528 Cashless? Which Transponders Work?
Yes. CFX says cash is no longer accepted at its toll booths or toll machines, and that E-PASS customers save up to 50 percent compared with Pay By Plate. Vehicles without a transponder are billed by license plate, which costs more on every toll point in the table above. CFX accepts E-PASS and compatible transponders, and Florida's Turnpike uses SunPass. Rental car drivers should check the rental company's toll program before driving the Beachline.
Which SR 528 Exits Serve Orlando Airport and Port Canaveral?
CFX notes that a flyover ramp opened in 2008 carries westbound SR 528 traffic onto southbound SR 436 for access into Orlando International Airport. At the east end, Port Canaveral tells cruise passengers to take SR 528 east directly to the port and use Exit 54A for the A terminals (Cruise Terminals 5, 6, 8 and 10) or Exit 54B for the B terminals (Cruise Terminals 1 and 3). The port estimates the drive from the airport at about 45 minutes.
Why Is It Called the Beachline?
The road was originally the Bee Line Expressway, a name CFX says came from drivers who "bee-lined," or took a straight shot, east to Interstate 95. In July 2005 it was renamed the Martin B. Andersen Beachline Expressway.
