The First Coast Outer Beltway will take a serpentine route through the counties of St. Johns, Clay and Duval. Many believe future drivers will choose to drive miles out of the way and pay tolls in order to bypass traffic congestion on I-295, Blanding, Roosevelt and San Jose Boulevards. Others believe this highway will turn Clay and St. Johns Counties into economic powerhouses.
This significant stretch of Branan Field-Chaffee was funded locally by the Better Jacksonville Plan. Under FDOT's proposal, Jacksonville residents would end up paying for tolls on a stretch of highway already constructed 100% with local tax dollars to subsidze roadway upgrades in Clay County.
