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:

    A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    It is possible—indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic—to give in advance a description of all ‘true’ logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
