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 average Kentuckian may appear a bit confused in his knowledge of history, but he is firmly certain about current politics. Kentucky cannot claim first place in political importance, but it tops the list in its keen enjoyment of politics for its own sake. It takes the average Kentuckian only a matter of moments to dispose of the weather and personal helath, but he never tires of a political discussion.”
—For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“With only one life to live we can’t afford to live it only for itself. Somehow we must each for himself, find the way in which we can make our individual lives fit into the pattern of all the lives which surround it. We must establish our own relationships to the whole. And each must do it in his own way, using his own talents, relying on his own integrity and strength, climbing his own road to his own summit.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
