southbound, it originally fed into international drive just north of the orange county convention center (the current west building). the north corner of the intersection is now the pointe orlando shopping district. when the north building (then phase v) of the occc was planned, it was also planned to extend universal boulevard along its current alignment on the north side of the north building. plans were made in conjunction with the williamsburg subdivision to design the intersection at the beachline expressway so that traffic would not inadvertently clog orangewood boulevard, which already met the beachline at that point (exit 2). the extension was opened in early 2003, and the old connector to i-drive at pointe orlando was renamed pointe plaza avenue. an electric sign system on the beachline directs convention-goers to the proper road so as to avoid unnecessary traffic on i-drive.
