JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – FDOT plans multiple overnight closures throughout the I-95/I-295 North Interchange Operational Improvements project starting Tuesday, Jan. 2 through Thursday, Jan. 4 while crews implement a detour for I-95 south to U.S. 17 traffic, weather and unforeseen circumstances permitting.
FDOT advises drivers to be cautious approaching the interchange and be prepared for the new traffic pattern, which will implement a detour for I-95 south to U.S. 17. Once implemented, drivers will take I-295 westbound to Duval Road and take I-295 eastbound to the new collector distributer road to access U.S. 17. The detour is expected to be in place through Feb. 2023, weather and unforeseen circumstances permitting.
