The End of State Road 9A

Driven1 · June 05, 2008, 01:10:36 PM

The End of State Road 9A...just in time for the End of the Car Culture.

I wonder if the powers that be are still thinking about that Outer Beltway now? I still say if we want to shed the backwater image, a great forward-thinking way is better & more bikelanes and the commuter rail. 2 very feasible projects that we could get started relatively easily.

Especially when those wetlands are directly behind your house. By my judgments the residents in the back of Bartram Springs (that back to Citi/Gran Bay area) will have 9B in their back yard. Has anyone else noticed this?

I had also heard that Cypress Trace development (Centex Condos next to the dog track / game room) was going to be wiped out by the extention / realignment. I cannot find anything to confirm this. Anybody know anything?

From the Florida DOT SR9B webpage: http://www.sr9b.com/sr9b/default.aspx
(from the DOT home page "major projects" then "District 2"

Eventually, it is supposed to connect to I-95 somewhere near Racetrack Road.

My wife spoke to a Duval planner... actually the project manager for the 9b project and he said the following.

1. It is going to happen
2. It will be going thru the space behind Bartram Springs (see the attached link)
3. Expected completion in 10 years (which would be construction would start in the next few)

Let me guess: the Peytons own land near the proposed 9B? If so, this thing is a certainty.

St. Johns County also approved funding for a land purchase (coupled with federal funds) to build the SJC portion of the roadway. This thing is going to happen.

So......Is 295 now complete?? Or is it still 295/9A?? What is the latest with the signs down there??

They took the signs pictured here down and replaced them with 9A signs. I assume they're not going to put up the 295 signage until the JTB interchange is complete.

once the JTB interchange is completed, that means all ramps are open, 9A will go away. This should happen before the end of the year.

So every sign that said "9A" now says "295" ?

9-B only a possibility? Hell No... Written in STONE from Washington D.C.

Last I heard, at a CPAC meeting I think, was that DOT expects the JTB interchange to be done around the first of the year (early 2009). I'm guessing that the signs won't be changed immediately, since the interchange wasn't due to be finished until the end of 2009. I wonder how many signs with "9A" there are? Not just the big green ones, but all those little white ones on all the side streets?

Get 'em while they're hot! One day they'll be JAX nostalgia. Think I'll put one in the garage!

So I take it the signs still read 9A....

They were a few days ago, and I don't think they are even going to begin change them until after they finish the JTB interchange around the first of the year.
