Buckman Bridge Renovation to Boost Safety

Buckman Bridge in Jacksonville Undergoes Major Renovation to Improve Safety and Traffic Flow

Jacksonville, FL – April 4, 2025 – The Buckman Bridge, a critical artery connecting Jacksonville’s Southside to the city’s western suburbs, is set for a major renovation aimed at enhancing safety and reducing congestion. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) announced the $150 million project, which will include lane expansions, structural reinforcements, and updated signage to improve traffic efficiency.

Project Details

The Buckman Bridge, spanning the St. Johns River, serves over 100,000 vehicles daily and has long been a hotspot for traffic delays and accidents. The renovation will include:

Additional Lane: A new auxiliary lane in each direction to ease merging near key interchanges.

Barrier Upgrades: Strengthened guardrails and improved lighting to prevent accidents.

Pavement Rehabilitation: Resurfacing to extend the bridge’s lifespan.

Smart Technology: Installation of real-time traffic monitoring systems to alert drivers of congestion or incidents.

Impact on Commuters

Construction is expected to begin in late 2025 and last approximately two years. FDOT officials say lane closures will be minimized during off-peak hours, but drivers should anticipate some delays and are encouraged to use alternate routes like I-295 or I-95 when possible.

'The Buckman Bridge is a vital link for Jacksonville’s commuters, and these improvements will ensure it remains safe and efficient for decades to come,' said FDOT spokesperson Maria Hernandez.

Community Response

Local residents and business owners have expressed mixed reactions. While many welcome the upgrades, some worry about prolonged construction disruptions.

'It’s going to be a hassle, but if it means fewer accidents and smoother traffic, it’s worth it,' said longtime Jacksonville resident Mark Thompson.

The Buckman Bridge, originally opened in 1970, was last renovated in 2008. This latest project underscores Jacksonville’s growing infrastructure needs as the city continues to expand.
