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.

The Judge exploded, ‘A bill of sale, sir, from God Almighty!’”
