Fla.’s First Coast Expressway Built to Handle Growth The First Coast Expressway, known by some as the Outer Beltway project (SR 23), continues construction stretching from Interstate 10 on Jacksonville, Fla.’s Westside down to Clay County and east to St. Johns County. The current section of the entire 46-mi. toll road being built encompasses two phases that connect Clay County’s Blanding Boulevard in Middleburg all the way to the Shands Bridge over the St. Johns River. The two phases are
slated to be completed between 2025 and 2026. Jacksonville’s Superior Construction Company Southeast is listed by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) as the contractor of the work in Clay County, which also notes the contract as being worth almost $100 million. Right now, many parts of southern Clay County are experiencing a considerable amount of construction on the road project, designed to
give commuters a quicker drive to Jacksonville. Boosting the effort is the fact that the county has been experiencing a population boom in recent years, with a need for more homes, schools and roads. Many residents, though, are sad to see the small-town lifestyle of the southern Clay County communities of Middleburg, Lake Asbury and Green Cove Springs give way to big see EXPRESSWAY page 42
