Daytime Closures on Main St and Roosevelt Blvd Today; I-95 North Interchange Delays Continue

Wednesday Traffic Overview for Jacksonville

Commuters in Jacksonville should prepare for several active roadwork zones this Wednesday, February 18, 2026. While the morning rush is moving steadily on the major interstates, significant daytime lane closures on key surface arteries like Main Street and Roosevelt Boulevard are expected to cause localized congestion throughout the afternoon. Major multi-year projects on the I-95 and I-10 corridors also remain in active phases, requiring extra caution through narrowed lanes and construction zones.

Active Roadwork and Lane Closures

According to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 2, the following local routes will experience impacts today:

• Main Street (US 17): Expect daytime lane closures between Baisden Road and Cedar Bay Road from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for ongoing road improvements. Additionally, nighttime closures near Drury Lane will begin at 7:30 p.m. this evening.
• Roosevelt Boulevard (US 17): Between Hollywood Avenue and Post Street, crews are scheduled for daytime lane closures between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Commuters traveling from the Riverside area toward I-10 should anticipate brief delays during this window.
• St. Johns Avenue (SR 211): Work continues between Talbot Avenue and Kings Street. Current morning closures are expected to wrap up by 9:00 a.m., but will resume tonight at 9:00 p.m.
• Normandy Boulevard (SR 228): Daytime lane closures are in effect near the Jacksonville Equestrian Center and US 301 for paving and roadside work.

Major Interstate Updates

The long-term reconstruction of the I-95/I-295 North Interchange remains a primary focus for commuters on the Northside. FDOT recently confirmed that the completion date for this modernization project has been pushed to Summer 2026. Drivers should continue to expect narrow lanes and frequent traffic shifts between Cole Road and the Broward River. Meanwhile, the I-10 widening project between I-295 and I-95 is entering its final stages, with an expected completion in mid-2026. While no major daytime lane closures are reported on the I-10 mainline today, ramp work near McDuff Avenue continues to require driver attention.

JTA Public Transit Alerts

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) reminds passengers that the new $1.00 fixed-route fare structure is now in full effect as of earlier this month. Commuters using the following routes should be aware of recent schedule and running time adjustments designed to improve reliability:

• Route 8, 10, 18, and 28: These routes saw schedule enhancements in late January; riders are encouraged to verify their departure times via the MyJTA app.
• Connexion Plus: Reminder that the Connexion Plus private service has been officially transitioned into the standard Connexion paratransit program.

For those traveling tonight, be advised that routine overpass maintenance will trigger southbound lane closures on I-95 near 13th Street and the San Marco area beginning at 10:00 p.m.
