State Road 9B is a planned 7.5 miles (12.1 km) freeway on the south side of Jacksonville. Its north end will be at a partially completed interchange stub located on the southeast-most point on I-295, and it will connect to I-95 (unsigned SR 9) and may 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 will be signed as Interstate 795 (abbreviated I-795) when it is completed.
History
In May 2008 the project was suspended by the Florida Department of Transportation, but was reinstated in 2010 as funding was acquired via stimulus funds.[2]
Phase 1 of the State Road 9B/I-795 project, consisting of a three mile spur from the Eastern Beltway of I-295 to US 1, began in Summer of 2010 and is scheduled to be completed in Spring 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.[3] The roadway was originally planned to open in the fall of 2012, but was pushed back to 2013 to allow for the construction of a wider paved area to facilitate future expansion.[4]

None of SR 9B is built, so this listing is subject to change.
