State Road 9B (SR 9B) is a 7-mile-long (11 km) freeway on the south side of Jacksonville, Florida in the United States. Its north end is at the southeast-most point on I-295, and it terminates at [County Road 2209] in Saint Johns County. It may eventually continue south to serve planned development and possibly extend west as a planned bridge over the St. Johns River (which will connect to SR 23).
The section north of I-95 is planned to be signed as Interstate 795 (I-795) when the designation is approved by the FHWA.[3]
Route description
Beginning at the I-295 interchange in southeastern Duval, the first phase of State Road 9B extends three miles (4.8 km) due south towards US 1 at Gran Bay Parkway. This segment initially opened with four lanes, but due to a late contract modification, can easily expand to six lanes. At US 1, exit ramps connect the roads with signalized intersections.[4]
The second phase of SR 9B continues over US 1 and heads another 1.5 miles (2.4 km) due south terminating at I-95, with an interchange just north of the St. Johns–Duval County line.[5][6]
History
In May 2008 the project was suspended by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), but it was reinstated in 2010 when funding was acquired via stimulus funds.[7]
Phase 1
Phase 1 of the SR 9B/I-795 project, consisting of a three-mile (4.8 km) spur from the Eastern Beltway of I-295 to US 1, began in the middle of 2010 and was scheduled to be completed in early of 2013, at an estimated cost of $68.5 million. The winning contract went to Archer Western Contractors / GAI Consultants, who also reconstructed the I-10/I-95 interchange in downtown Jacksonville.[8] The roadway was originally planned to open in the end of 2012, but was pushed back to 2013 to allow for the construction of a wider paved area to facilitate future expansion.[9] In late July 2013, southbound I-295 was closed a few nights to install new overhead signs for the SR 9B interchange, one of the final construction projects of Phase 1.[10] Phase 1 opened September 19, 2013.[2]
Phase 2
Superior Construction and Arcadis US was awarded a $95 million design-build contract for the second phase of SR 9B, from US 1 to I-95.[5] Construction began in April 2013 and was fully completed on June 13, 2016. Phase 2 includes a new four-lane road between US 1 and I-95. The Phase 1 interchange at US 1 is upgraded with additional exit ramps and an overpass over US 1 and Veveras Drive in addition to utility work along US 1. A cloverstack interchange at I-95 was constructed, along with noise walls in the northwest and southeast corners. This interchange at I-95 is the current southern terminus while Phase 3 is being completed.
Phase 3
The third and final phase connected I-95 to County Road 2209 and Race Track Road via a connector road (named Peyton Parkway) in St. Johns County. It began in August 2015 and was opened to traffic on August 9, 2018.
