Florida State Road 23
State Road 23, also known as the Branan Field-Chaffee Expressway, is a partially built western bypass of Jacksonville. Its south end is at SR 21 in Middleburg, and it is planned to continue south and east as a planned bridge over the St. Johns River (which will connect to SR 9B). The north end will be U.S. Route 90/SR 10 but currently terminates at Interstate 10 (unsigned SR 8). There is speculation about an extension as a northwest bypass to I-95 (unsigned SR 9). Currently it is a surface road, built on new right-of-way and the rebuilding of Branan Field Road, but there are plans, in the future, for a full freeway.

Famous quotes containing the words florida, state and/or road:
“In Florida consider the flamingo,
Its color passion but its neck a question.”
—Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)
“Feminism, like Boston, is a state of mind. It is the state of mind of women who realize that their whole position in the social order is antiquated, as a woman cooking over an open fire with heavy iron pots would know that her entire housekeeping was out of date.”
—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
“How the cold creeps as the fire dies at length
How drifts are piled,
Dooryard and road ungraded,
Till even the comforting barn grows far away,
And my heart owns a doubt
Whether ‘tis in us to arise with day
And save ourselves unaided.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
