Is this route mentioned in a thread? Or can someone let me in on the little secret?
Donnie - Question for ya. I noticed on the 9A route that it crosses two rather large rivers near Blout Island. Now I have a problem driving over tall bridges especially the ones with metal grates on them. How bad are the bridges on this route??
Thanks for the info. So much better than I-95 through Jacksonville.
The bridge near Blount Island is the Dames Point Bridge. It is very high due to big ships going under it. It has 3 lanes on each side so just go thru the middle. They have the outside lanes closed I think both directions for painting the cable covers. There is no metal grating, all paved.
Isn't 9A just the eastern part of the I-295 bypass and not really a local road but part of the I-295 beltway around Jax. We usually take the west bypass since we stay at NAS Jax on the way down. I agree I-95 thru Jax is a bad route and the mess at the St. John's river 10 or 15 years ago the last time we went that way was a mess when towing.
