Is the new State Road 23 (Branan Field Chaffee Road / Cecil Commerce Center Parkway) a toll road?
Signs stating Future Toll Road SR 23 have been placed on SR 23 (Branan Field Chaffee Road / Cecil Commerce Center Parkway) to inform the public of the Florida Department of Transportations (FDOT) plans to toll this section of roadway in the future. This roadway is part of a planned larger expressway project known as the First Coast Outer Beltway (FCOB). The FCOB will be a toll facility from I-95 in St. Johns County to I-10 in Duval County. The mainline of the FCOB will be tolled; however, the existing road from SR 21 to Oakleaf Plantation Parkway will become a non-tolled frontage road. Tolling this new facility will allow the project to be built much sooner. The planned tolling will not begin until the corridor is being four-laned with new interchanges under construction from at least SR-21 to I-10. This conversion is not anticipated to be completed for several years. For additional project information and updates on the project schedule, please visit the FCOB project website at www.FD
