JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Interstate 95 North from Emerson Street to Atlantic Boulevard will be closed from 10 p.m. on Thursday, May 29 to 6 a.m. on May 30 for a traffic shift.

RELATED: A $247 million I-95 construction project near downtown Jacksonville is progressing. When will it be done?

Drivers who are westbound on Emerson Street will detour via Phillips Highway.

This comes after a huge construction project being done on I-95.

The construction won’t end until Spring 2028, and it’s costing taxpayers $247 million.

Some of the goals of the project include getting five travel lanes on I-95 southbound and northbound, raising I-95’s profile to improve sight distance, and updating traffic signals.
