At some point, probably before I revisit this page, FL 9A will be completed as a freeway around the east side of Jacksonville, at which point the entire beltway will be redesignated I-295. Consider any FL 9A photos future historic finds. All photos courtesy Costa Ioannidis.


Right off the bat, two from 9A. The first is southbound and given its age will probably be replaced when exit numbers come around here. The second is on FL 202 WB, which has a diamond interchange with FL 9A. 202 is already a full freeway to the seashore and FL A1A, so obviously the diamond end is on 9A, and this will have to be upgraded before I-295 can be designated. In fact, this interchange is the final roadblock to a completed beltway, and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2008.

Over to the I-295 half of the beltway, SB at Exit 10 where US 17's ghost route makes one of its only appearances (15 ghosts other routes, and other routes ghost 17, but at least here, this is the pairing), then on the SB ramp to I-95 NB at the southern end of the freeway, currently an unnumbered exit but maybe future Exit 61B once exit numbers are extended around the eastern freeway. The US 1 sign may survive because it's inconspicuously located within an interchange that's already been modified, but we'll only know after FL 9A is gone.
