Traffic will be able to continue to exit from I-95 South on to Palm Avenue South or Gary Street East. Traffic traveling along Palm Avenue South from the Baptist Hospital parking areas will continue to have normal access to the I-95 North on-ramp by turning right.

Area hospitals, the Jacksonville Sherriff’s Office and Jacksonville Fire and Rescue have been notified of this closure.
