Project closes I-95 ramp in Jacksonville

Construction will have the I-95 southbound ramp to the east beltway closed tonight starting at 8 p.m.  This is a part of the Florida Department of Transportation improvement project on three ramps at the interchange that began in December of last year, and is expected to be completed by this spring.

Crews will be replacing two bridge expansion joints, which absorb movement caused by high traffic volumes and other weather events.

The roadwork is set to run until 5:30 a.m. on Thursday. Traffic will be detoured onto Phillips Hwy.
