Florida State and County Roads

Interstate 95 (officially The Singer Expressway in Miami-Dade County)^[2] , the main Interstate Highway on the east coast of the United States, serves the Atlantic coast of Florida. It begins at a partial interchange with U.S. Highway 1 just south of downtown Miami, and heads north past Daytona Beach and Jacksonville to the Georgia state line at the St. Marys River.

The southernmost 13.69^[3] miles (22.03 km) of I-95, from Miami to the north side of the Golden Glades Interchange, is the unsigned State Road 9A. (There is another State Road 9A forming a beltway around Jacksonville.) The rest of I-95 is part of unsigned State Road 9, which splits at the Golden Glades Interchange and heads southwest and south on surface roads to end southwest of downtown Miami. (SR 9 is only signed south of the Golden Glades Interchange.)

Route description

Interstate 95's southbound HOV Lane over the Golden Glades Interchange heading towards Miami.

Interstate 95 splits from U.S. Highway 1 near 32nd Road in southern Miami. It quickly interchanges with the Rickenbacker Causeway via the short unsigned SR 913, and then heads north into downtown. The short SR 970 freeway, mostly unsigned, distributes traffic to several downtown streets. On the north side of downtown, at the Midtown Interchange, Interstate 395 heads east to the MacArthur Causeway, and the tolled SR 836 heads west to Miami International Airport. Throughout Miami-Dade County, I-95 is designated the North-South Expressway according to some maps.^[4]

After crossing I-395 and SR 836, I-95 begins to head north roughly along the alignment of Northwest 6th Avenue, lying one block east of Northwest 7th Avenue (U.S. Highway 441/SR 7). Just north of 36th Street (U.S. Highway 27/SR 25), at what has been called the 36th Street Interchange,^[5] I-95 crosses Interstate 195, which goes east over the Julia Tuttle Causeway to Miami Beach, and SR 112, a toll road west to the airport. A two-way high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) roadway in the median begins at I-195 and SR 112, formed by ramps to and from SR 112. I-95 continues north, crossing and interchanging with many surface roads, most of which are State Roads, before reaching the Golden Glades Interchange.

The complicated Golden Glades Interchange provides access between I-95 and two other freeways — the original section of Florida's Turnpike (SR 91), since bypassed by the Homestead Extension (SR 821), and the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826). Ramps are also provided to and from several surface streets - SR 826 east on 167th Street to Sunny Isles Beach, U.S. Highway 441 (SR 7) south on Northwest 7th Avenue and north on Northwest 2nd Avenue, and SR 9 southwest on a limited-access roadway to Northwest 27th Avenue. At the Golden Glades Interchange, SR 9A ends, and SR 9 joins I-95. I-95 north to West Palm Beach, as well as SR 9 southwest to 27th Avenue, runs parallel to the South Florida Rail Corridor, used by CSX Transportation for freight and Tri-Rail for commuter rail.

Interstate 95 near Miami

North of Miami, I-95 continues on to Ft. Lauderdale, where it interchanges with I-595, providing access to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades to the east, and Broward County's western suburbs as well as I-75 northbound (via Alligator Alley) across the peninsula to the Gulf Coast to the west. In West Palm Beach, I-95 provides direct access to Palm Beach International Airport as well as downtown West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Island via SR 704 (Okeechobee Blvd.). North of West Palm Beach, I-95 literally runs beside Florida's Turnpike for several miles, before the freeways eventually go separate ways north of Fort Pierce (I-95 continues directly along the coast; Florida's Turnpike turns west toward Orlando).

Continuing north, I-95 provides access to State Roads 70, 60, and 50 in Ft. Pierce, Vero Beach, and Titusville, respectively; each are major east-west thoroughfares that provide access between the east and west coasts of Florida. I-95 also interchanges with the Beachline Expressway near Cape Canaveral, a toll-road providing access between the Cape and the major tourist areas in Orlando. I-95 also provides direct access to I-4 in Daytona Beach.

I-95 then continues directly through the center of downtown Jacksonville, with several major interchanges: I-295/SR 9A, several miles south of the city; I-10 just south of downtown, and I-295/SR 9A once again several miles north of the city (the two highways provide a western and eastern bypass, respectively, around the city). The Fuller Warren Bridge, which carries I-95 over the St. Johns River just south of I-10, was rebuilt in 2002, and a new intersection between I-95 and I-10 will be completed in 2011.^[6] Just north of I-295, I-95 provides access to Jacksonville International Airport. From this point, I-95 continues north several miles before finally crossing into Georgia, just north of mile marker 380.

History

This section requires expansion.

The Bureau of Public Roads approved an Interstate 95 alignment that used 41 miles (66 km) of the Turnpike from Ft. Pierce south to PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens. In January 1966, the State Road Department authorized traffic counts be conducted to determine if the separation of Interstate 95 from the Turnpike was feasible, with arguments that using a concurrent alignment was costing Florida money for Federal Highway funding.^[7] Over time, the interstate adopted a route closer to U.S. Route 1, including parallel with the turnpike between Stuart and Palm Beach Gardens. After years of resistance by Martin County officials, the road was completed in 1987.^[8][9]

Future

The current HOV lanes in both directions between I-395 in Miami and I-595 in Davie are being converted to High Occupancy toll lanes, with two lanes in each direction. Prices vary based on congestion and peak hours and tolls are collected electronically, while registered travelers with 3 or more passengers and hybrid vehicles can drive the toll lanes for free. Both HOT lanes have been completed northbound from I-395 to the Golden Glades Interchange (including toll booths); an extension of the lanes south to I-195 and the construction of the southbound HOT lanes are scheduled to be completed in early 2010^[update]. As of November 2009^[update], the project to complete the remainder of the stretch from the Golden Glades Interchange to I-595 is unfunded, with no target completion date.^[10] However, FDOT has stated that, with proper funding, construction could start as early as September 2010, and be open as early as Spring 2012.^[11]

The stretch of road between Exit 173 (SR 514) and Exit 205 (SR 528) in Brevard County is in the process of being widened from four to six lanes, and where a new interchange will be constructed where the Pineda Causeway is to be extended to the interstate in Melbourne.^[12]
