Replacing a dirt road that formerly covered the route, it opened in 2016; using open road tolling, it is considered to be the first privately built toll road to be constructed in the state of Florida. A multi-use trail parallels the road along the old dirt roadway. Route descriptionThe Orchard Pond Parkway covers a distance of roughly {{convert|5.2|mi|km|spell=in}}, and is a super two-style toll road,[2] with two, undivided {{convert|12|ft|adj=on}} traffic lanes.[3] The road follows an east–west path in northern and northwestern Leon County, Florida, in the rural–urban fringe area of Tallahassee, the state's capital city.[4] Connecting Meridian Road (CR 155) with Old Bainbridge Road (CR 0361), the eastern end of Orchard Pond Parkway routes into Bannerman Road (CR 0342), providing a connection to U.S. Route 319 (US 319) and providing a complete bypass route across the northern quadrant of Tallahassee.[4] The speed limit on the route is set at {{convert|55|mph}}.[5] The parkway was built partially along the route of, and replaced, Orchard Pond Road, an unimproved dirt road which had, prior to the construction of the parkway, been the only route allowing access across the northwestern quadrant of Tallahassee north of Interstate 10 (I-10). It had long been considered an especially hazardous route due to its condition, with a rough surface, narrow lanes, and tight bends; drivers following the route often found it taking 30 minutes or more to traverse the short distance,[6] which would become muddy during heavy rains and washboarded during dry spells. The road also was an environmental hazard, with mud, silt, and debris flowing off of the roadway into lakes along its route during major rainstorms.[5] HistoryThe first privately built toll road to be constructed in Florida,[2] and the first toll road built in Leon County, Florida,[7] construction of the Orchard Pond Parkway was begun in January 2015. The projected completion date was January 2016,[2] although the project was delayed by several months.[8] Constructed by Jeff Phipps, owner of Orchard Pond Plantation, the route was handed over to the Leon County government upon completion, to be leased back to the constructor over a 99-year term with the lease fees acting as payment for the route.[2] The cost of the project was approximately $17 million, $13.5 million of which was provided as a loan from the Florida Department of Transportation Infrastructure Bank;[5] {{convert|45000|ST}} of recycled concrete was used during the construction of the roadway.[5] The Orchard Pond Parkway opened on April 18, 2016;[5] as an introductory measure to encourage local drivers to familiarize themselves with the route, tolls were not collected until May 1. Following that date, electronic toll collection using the Florida Department of Transportation's SunPass system was instituted, with toll-by-plate as an option for drivers without a SunPass transponder.[9] Traffic volumes for the road were projected to rise to 2000 cars per day;[5] the highest recorded daily traffic count in the first ten months of operation, following the imposition of tolls, was 1800 cars.[10] The route is considered to be an example for potential future projects to follow, being described as the first step in "a new Capital Circle", providing a bypass for truck traffic to the north of Tallahassee to match the existing partial beltway to the south of the city, reducing traffic congestion and improving safety in the city's busy downtown area, through which a truck route currently passes.[5] Recreational trailFollowing the opening of the Orchard Pond Parkway, the old dirt road route was converted into a recreational multi-use trail; the {{convert|3.5|mi|adj=on}} Orchard Pond Road Trail opened in August 2016. Two entrances, one on the parkway itself and another accessed from Old Bainbridge Road, provide access to the trail for equestrian, cycling, and hiking traffic.[11] Major
