Edgewood Avenue roadway improvements

Construction is underway on Edgewood Avenue in the Murray Hill neighborhood. Funded by the Florida Department of Transportation, the $7.66 million project will improve Edgewood Avenue South from U.S. 17 to Lenox Avenue and Lenox Avenue from Cassat Avenue to Edgewood Avenue South. An emerging pedestrian-friendly corridor lined with local shops, boutiques, bars and restaurants, the project involves reducing the number of travel lanes from four to two and installing bike lanes and shared-use lanes. Additional enhancements include three new mid-block crossings with flashing beacons as well as on-street parking. Construction began in summer 2023 and is expected to be completed in summer 2024.

I-95 widening from Emerson to Atlantic

The Florida Department of Transportation is in the process of widening I-95 from south of Emerson Street to Atlantic Boulevard. The project includes widening the interstate to 10 lanes; reconfiguring the interchange at Emerson Street; resurfacing Emerson Street from U.S. 1/Philips Highway to Spring Park Road; and adding and replacing sound walls. The $247 million design-build project started in August 2023 and is expected to be completed in spring 2028.

Interstate 10 widening

The Florida Department of Transportation is expanding I-10 from I-295 to I-95 through Jacksonville’s Westside. Construction on the $176.4 million project began in summer 2020 and is anticipated to be complete in early 2025. When complete, I-10 will include up to 10 lanes. Other improvements include the construction of noise barrier walls, a pedestrian tunnel at Day Avenue, enhanced drainage, sidewalks, lighting and signage.
