On Thursday, Gov. Rick Scott was in Jacksonville to kick off the Interstate 95/Interstate 295 interchange project.
The hub will help connect JAXPORT with I-95, as well as offering another route from downtown Jacksonville to the airport.
Gov. Scott said, “We are proud to be welcoming so many families and job creators to Florida, and we must do all we can to make sure our roadways are prepared for future growth. That is why I am proud to announce the kick-off of the I-95/I-295 North Interchange project today. This project will encourage continued economic growth in Northeast Florida and improve safety for the many residents, business owners and visitors who travel here each day. We will continue to make important investments in projects like the I-95/I-295 North Interchange to ensure Florida’s transportation system remains a national leader.”
The $177 million project is expected to take three years, with $103 million coming from the state of Florida.
