on the I-10 corridor from Jacksonville to Tallahassee. This will be utilized in the event of a catastrophic natural or manmade disaster to expediently evacuate citizens out of the northeast Florida area. I-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 I-95 in Jacksonville. This interstate falls in the areas of responsibility of the FHP 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 convert westbound traffic over to the eastbound lane. 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 (SR 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 hours.
Approx. Completion: July 2000
