The Florida Department of Transportation will begin constructing a new interchange from Interstate 295 to Collins Road on Monday, Feb. 14.
This project is expected to ease congestion on Blanding Boulevard, which is about a mile away from this interchange. Construction on the $63.4 million project will conclude in early 2014.
It also includes improvements to Blanding and the construction of four new lanes on I-295, two in each direction, that will be limited to motorists exiting at Blanding or Collins.
The idea is to separate traffic getting off I-295 from traffic driving through, said FDOT spokesman Mike Goldman.
Retention ponds will be constructed first for the project. When lane work begins the state will try to do major work at night and during early morning and late evening hours, Goldman said.
More information on this project will be in Wednesday edition of the Florida Times-Union. Source
