Q: A major road construction project is underway at Philips Highway and Butler Boulevard, and it led to the closure of a Jacksonville Transportation Authority Park-n-Ride hub.<\/p>\n

A JTA Flyer bus used to stop there. But \u201cit\u2019s a huge construction site now, and the roadway is being worked on,\u201d observes Jacksonville Today reader Susan E.<\/p>\n

Susan asks:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is happening at the intersection of JTB and Philips Highway?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A: In June \u2014 about the time the JTA hub closed \u2014 the Florida Department of Transportation began working on improvements on Butler Boulevard from Interstate 95 to Philips Highway<\/a>, as well as Philips Highway from Butler Boulevard north to Mustang Road.<\/p>\n

The $11 million project will improve traffic flow by reconfiguring the roadways to make traffic signals more efficient. The project includes resurfacing, drainage improvements, traffic signals, sidewalks, a bicycle path and other construction.<\/p>\n

In place of its Park-n-Ride hub, JTA set up two temporary bus stops.<\/p>\n

One is for outbound passengers at the north entrance of the existing Butler Boulevard Park-n-Ride. The other, for inbound passengers, is in front of the Gates of Southpoint Plaza on Philips Highway, just north of the Shell gas station.<\/p>\n

Missed bus stops inside JTB Park-n-Ride also include 5188 (Routes 27 and 107) and 5219 (Route 27).\u00a0<\/p>\n

For drivers confronting the FDOT work, the state agency said no lane closures are allowed from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., or 4:45 to 12:20 a.m. Mondays through Fridays. No lanes will be shut from 4 to 12:30 a.m. Saturdays, 5:15 to 12:30 a.m. Sundays, or during JTA bus operating hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project should be done by fall 2028, FDOT says.<\/p>\n

For Jaguars fans: With the Park-n-Ride lot closed on Philips Highway, the JTA Game Day Shuttle service<\/a> will not be offered to and from EverBank Stadium from that site this season.<\/p>\n

That leaves only the Kings Avenue Parking Garage & Park-n-Ride on the Southbank, Florida State College at Jacksonville\u2019s Downtown lot at 900 N. Laura St., Wingate Park in Jacksonville Beach and the JTA\u2019s Armsdale Park-n-Ride spot on the Northside.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Q: A major road construction project is underway at Philips Highway and Butler Boulevard, and it led to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":351200,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[15584,88005,116,118,117,17707,99028,115,729,1798],"class_list":["post-351199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-askjaxtdy","tag-government-politics","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-jacksonville-transportation-authority","tag-jaxtdy1","tag-news","tag-traffic","tag-transportation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=351199"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351199\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/351200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=351199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=351199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=351199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
