Jacksonville AreA
Older Pics
These pictures were taken in the summer of 2002 on a trip to St. Augustine, about 30 miles south of Jacksonville. Can you believe that my first time to downtown Jax was in March of 2006? Whoa there.
 After
exiting the international airport area, I-95 SB crosses I-295, which is a
shortcut to I-10. |
 I-295
temporarily ends north of Jacksonville and east of I-95. FL 9A
continues, but only until the Jacksonville Beltway is complete to interstate
standards. Then I-295 will take over. |
 Then
on FL 9A EB/SB, US 17 intersects as Main Street. The Jax Beaches are
in 21 miles, the mileage sign in the back states. |
 US
90 is Beach Blvd. around here. On FL 9A SB. |
 EB
Butler Blvd. (FL 202) as it crosses FL 115 (Southside Blvd).
|
 End
FL 202 (Butler Blvd.). FL 202 is an expressway reaching from I-95 to
A1A. Nothing special. |
 I
don't remember where this was, but it is 1/2 mile from I-95. |
 I-95
NB approaching I-10 in Jacksonville. The whole I-95/I-10 interchange
was undergoing construction at the time, as you will soon see. |
 A
makeshift To I-10 sign in Jacksonville on I-95 NB. There is some kind
of bridge over the interstate here, is it pedestrian? If so, it's a
pretty long pedestrian bridge. |
 More
construction at the I-95/I-10 interchange with more makeshift signs.
|
 The
Jacksonville skyline from I-95 NB. Jacksonville is the largest city in
Florida at over 700,000, but I think that's only because it encompasses all
of Duval County, including the rural areas. |
 This
is the substandard (at the time of the picture) eastern terminus of I-10,
which runs westward all the way to Los Angeles, CA. Still in the
construction zone. |
 Now
north of the construction zone, on I-95, we come to Alt. US 90 and US 23.
|
 The
exit for US 23 North. Is this the southern terminus of US 23? It
ends in Jacksonville, but does it end downtown or here at I-95? I
dunno. |
 I-95
NB at FL 105, to US 17. Ahead is Jacksonville Int'l Airport and
further on up, Savanna, GA. |
 I-295
is in just 1 mile! So is FL 9A, for that matter. On I-95 NB. |
 See?
FL 9A! |
 And
finally, the exit for the airport. I-95 North heads to Maine, but I'm
headed to the airport. |
