Jacksonville is a city that’s always growing – but sometimes it’s easy to lose track of how far we’ve come. To help add some perspective, we’ve compiled a list of 15 things that Jacksonville didn’t have just 15 years ago – but that we do have now!
While many stretches of I-295 have been around for decades, the entire I-295 Beltway wasn’t officially completed until 2010.
Prior to that, only the western portion of the loop was considered to be part of I-295. The eastern portion, which had yet to be completed 15 years ago, was signed as State Road 9A.
Now, the beltway loops in a circle around the entire city – and soon, portions of it will gain express lanes supported by tolls.
