Multiple detours are scheduled this week on parts of the Interstate 10 widening project from Interstate 295 to Interstate 95.

Crews will perform bridge construction at multiple exits from Roosevelt Boulevard all the way west to the I-295 interchange, state transportation officials said.

The $174.5 million project began in mid-2020 and is set to be done in 2025. It includes up to 10 lanes between I-295 and I-95. Average daily traffic ranges from about 8,000 to 12,000 vehicles a day on that stretch, according to the Florida Department of Transportation. Volume is expected to increase significantly over the next two decades.

The planned detours are:

• I-10 East Exit to I-295: 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, making drivers continue east to the Lane Avenue exit, then back onto the I-10 west on-ramp so they can continue to I-295.
• McDuff Avenue at I-10: 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday, as northbound drivers are detoured right on Rosselle Street, left on Stockton Street and left on Edison Avenue to reconnect with McDuff Avenue. Southbound drivers will be detoured left on Edison Avenue, right on Stockton Street and right on Rosselle Street to connect with McDuff Avenue.

In other news from FDOT, the long-awaited Fuller Warren Shared Use Path will officially open at 11 a.m. Thursday, joining the Riverside and San Marco communities.

The 4,654-foot-long walkway has two 6-foot lanes for east/west traffic, and a pair of rest/observation areas with views of the St. Johns River. Users can access it from Riverside Avenue in Riverside, from Palm Avenue in San Marco or from the sidewalk adjacent to the river behind Nemours Children’s Hospital.

The shared use path is part of the $126 million operational improvements project at I-10 and I-95 started in mid-2017. It is expected to be done soon, FDOT said.
