Emergency Management Systems

Interstate 10 Reverse Lane Implementation Plan (21511717106):  The Reverse Lane Implementation Plan is to provide for the implementation of reversing lanes of the I-10 corridor from Jacksonville to Tallahassee.  This will be utilized in the event of a catastrophic natural or man-made disaster to expediently evacuate citizens out of the northeast Florida area.  Interstate 10 is a multi-lane, limited access roadway that begins at the Alabama/Florida state line and traverses the state in an easterly direction for 364 miles, terminating at Interstate 95 in Jacksonville.  This interstate falls in the areas of responsibility of the Florida Highway Patrol and Districts II and III.  A two-lane crossover has been constructed on I-10 just east of the I-295 interchange in Jacksonville at milepost 358 to divert westbound traffic over to the eastbound roadway.  The order to implement the reversing of lanes will be given by the Governor or his representative.  The FDOT and FHP will close all eastbound entrance ramps.  No eastbound traffic will be allowed to enter I-10 eastbound from milepost 216.7 (State Road 59) in Jefferson County to I-295 in Jacksonville.  All westbound traffic will be allowed to exit at their desired exit.  It is expected the bleed-out of eastbound traffic to be accomplished in approximately three (3) hours.
Approx. Completion:  July 2000
