The Florida Department of Transportation is again asking drivers to plan ahead after scheduling continuous lane closures on Interstate 295 over the Buckman Bridge. But this time it will affect the northbound lanes.
Two lanes of I-295 North will close at 10 p.m. Friday and reopen by 4 a.m. Monday, April 6, weather and unforeseen circumstances permitting. The ramp from San Jose Boulevard to I-295 North will also be closed.
Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes, such as Old St. Augustine Road, if possible, and to allow extra travel time.
The lane closures are part of a larger project to replace finger joints on the Buckman Bridge. The work also includes partial coatings and structural steel repairs.
FDOT awarded the $5.4 million contract for the improvements to Cekra, Inc. The department expects the project to be complete in summer 2026, weather and unforeseen circumstances permitting.
