Traffic shift on I-95 downtown

The Florida Department of Transportation is shifting things up on the roads again for motorists heading into downtown on I-95 northbound.

As part of the ongoing I-95 Overland Bridge Project, all traffic will be shifted between 8 p.m. Tuesday and 6 a.m. Wednesday so that contractors can continue bridge demolition and construction activities.

All I-95 northbound traffic from about a quarter mile after the Beaches exits to just after San Marco Boulevard will separate into two designated downtown lanes on the right, and three on the left.  The split now begins directly at the Acosta and Main Street Bridges.

Motorists heading downtown will need to move into the correct lanes approximately a half-mile earlier than they're accustomed to.

In order to ensure safe construction zones, FDOT says travelers should stay alert, follow the speed limit through the entire construction zone and watch for additional signs.
