| Interstate Highways 10 and 95 intersect in Jacksonville.
Interstate Highway 10 ends at this intersection (the other end
being in California). The eastern terminus of US-90 is in nearby
Jacksonville Beach near the Atlantic Ocean. Additionaly, several
other roads as well a major local expressway, J. Turner Butler
Boulevard (SR 202) also connect Jacksonville to the beaches.
Public transportation is provided by the Jacksonville Transportation
Authority. The city has the Jacksonville Skyway Monorail, which
loops around the central business district and is fairly cheap
to use. However, there are very few Skyway stations and as such,
traffic is quite light. |
| Interstate 95 has a bypass route, I-295, which
currently bypasses the city to the west. I-295 will eventually
become a loop when State Road 9A is completed in the southeastern
portion of the county. Jacksonville is also home to the world
headquarters of CSX Transportation. |
| There are also numerous bridges over the St. Johns
River at Jacksonville. They include (starting from furthest
downstream) the Dames Point Bridge, the Mathews Bridge, the
Isaiah D. Hart Bridge, the Main Street Bridge, the Acosta Bridge,
the Fuller Warren Bridge (which carries I-95 traffic) and the
Buckman Bridge (which carries I-295 traffic). |
| Major commercial air service in Jacksonville operates
out of Jacksonville International Airport. Smaller planes can
fly to Craig Airport on the southside and Herlong Airport on
the westside. The city also operates an airfield at Cecil Commerce
Center that is intended for aerospace manufacturing companies. |
| Amtrak passenger railroad serves Jacksonville
from a station on Clifford Lane in the Northwest section of
the city. |
| In 2003, the JAXPORT Cruise Terminal opened, providing
cruise service to Key West, Florida, The Bahamas, and Mexico. |
