The 35.511 mile (57.15 km) long Interstate 295 in Florida loops around the west side of Jacksonville, Florida. The Buckman Bridge carries Interstate 295 traffic over the St. Johns River in Jacksonville. By 2006 Interstate 295 will loop around the entire city. The east part of the loop, which is only partially completed, is now referred to as Florida State Road 9A, which the Dames Point Bridge is a part of. The west loop, currently Interstate 295, is also part of Florida State Road 9A, but is not signed that way. When completed, the entire loop will be signed I-295.
Interstate 295/State Road 9A (SR 9A) forms a contiguous loop through the entire city: since Jacksonville and Duval county are consolidated, this means I-295 is entirely contained in the city of Jacksonville.
The eastern part of the beltway loop is currently signed as SR 9A, which the Dames Point Bridge is part of, and the western as Interstate295.
The entire loop will be signed as I-295 around approximately May 2009 when the last remaining traffic-light intersection on SR 9A, at the junction of SR 9A and SR 202 (J. Turner Butler Boulevard), is converted to a multi-level interchange.
