Interstate 110 (Florida) - Route Description

Route Description

Since its completion, Interstate 110 has consisted of six interchanges. Unlike most Florida interstates, it retained its sequential exit numbering system when most other interstates switched to a mile-log system. At the south end is Exit 1, a directional T interchange that connects the freeway with Garden, Chase and Gregory Streets. Exit 2 links I-110 to U.S. Highway 90/98, also known as Cervantes Street. There are only southbound exit and northbound entrance ramps at this interchange. This same ramp configuration can be found just to the north at Exit 3, an interchange with Maxwell and Jordan Streets.

Past Exit 3, where the elevated freeway returns to ground level, there are two modified diamond interchanges. The first is Exit 4, leading to Fairfield Drive (State Road 295). The northbound ramps at Exit 4 have been moved entirely to the southeast quadrant of the intersection and directly connect to Davis Highway (State Road 291) just south of Fairfield Drive. Approximately 1.5 miles to the north is Exit 5, an interchange with Brent Lane (State Road 296) and Airport Boulevard. Originally, north of Exit 5 was an overpass for State Road 742 along Burgess Road. However, between 2004 and 2006, SR 742 was rerouted along a new wider overpass at Creighton Road and the old Burgess Road overpass was demolished.

Interstate 110's northern terminus is at Interstate 10. There is a combination trumpet-directional T interchange at this location that is in close proximity to the I-10 interchange with Davis Highway to the east.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:

    By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.
    Arthur Miller (b. 1915)

    Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
