State Road 436 (SR 436) is considered an artery for traffic in the Orlando area. Starting at the intersection with US 441 in Apopka, SR 436 runs east and intersects with SR 434 and Interstate 4 (I-4). The road then begins to turn to the south after the intersection with US 17 and US 92 (U.S.17-92). Heading south, as Semoran Blvd, the road intersects with East Colonial Drive SR 50. This intersection is considered to be one of the deadliest intersections in the nation with an average of three accidents per day. The road designation ends at SR 528 (also known as the Beachline Expressway/previously known as the Bee Line Expressway), but the road continues to head south as the main access road to Orlando International Airport.

Constructed in the late 1960s, the road passes through Seminole County, Florida and Orange County, Florida. Because of this, the common name for SR 436 was a combination of the names of the two counties: "Sem" and "oran", hence "Semoran Boulevard." SR 436 is officially named Semoran Boulevard on its entire route through Orange County and Seminole County, except in the city of Altamonte Springs, where it is named East Altamonte Drive. The common pronunciation of "Semoran" resembles that of Cimarron. At its widest (8-10 lanes) through the city of Altamonte Springs it is named East Altamonte Drive.

Planned Improvements

The Florida Department of Transportation plans to run SR 50 (Colonial Drive) and US 17-92 over SR 436 as flyover interchanges within the next two years. An extensive eminent domain project is underway by the FDOT to clear space for the flyovers.
