I have read an article that says the I-95 will be widened from 6 to 10 lanes between I-295 and Butler. There are also plans to make the Baymeadows Rd interchange a diverging diamond.

Yes, they are peicemealing the widening of I-95 between World Golf Village and Atlantic Blvd. I recall a PD&E being done years ago.

I'm guessing that the pedestrian overpass over I-95 will be replaced once I-95 gets widened in that area.

As thelakelander said, FDOT divided is piecemealing the widening of I-95 between the First Coast Expressway in St Johns County, and Atlantic Blvd. (just south of the Fuller Warren Bridge).

The pieces between JTB and Atlantic are under construction now.

The next piece south, between Baymeadows and JTB is a "Design/Build" project - which means the same team does final engineering and construction. Design is underway and construction is scheduled to start in FY30 (July 2029-June 2030). There is $80 million the the TIP for this 2.2 mile project.

Construction of the I-295 to Baymeadows piece does not appear to be scheduled within the current TIP or FDOT Work Program, which go through FY31.

FDOT is overdue, I believe, on starting the rebuild of I-95 between I-10 and Beaver/Union.  Haven't seen any updates. 

I-95 is a cluster.  I-10 and I-295 aren't any better.  Accidents, construction... lane closures and back ups constantly, even when nothing is wrong.  I avoid them as much as possible.  Local roads are more reliable and, thus, ultimately, faster.  Jacksonville will be L.A. East one day soon.
