Why was the section south of 103rd Street opened before the connection to I-10?
Funding and complexity of the projects. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) did a design-build on the segment from 103rd Street to Argyle Forest Boulevard with Better Jacksonville Plan funds. The segment up to Interstate 10 is more complicated and more expensive. Construction started January 16, 2007 and on October 1, 2009, the new section from Interstate 10 to 103rd Avenue officially opened to traffic.
