9B , a project Kelley calls “ the Holy Grail of transportation ” for the rapidly growing Northwest St . Johns County , and the long awaited $ 68 million 23rd St . Interchange project .
“ This is a signature infrastructure project for the 3rd District of the Florida Department of Transportation . Due to funding challenges and ROW negotiations , this project was delayed from construction for over a decade , and is now a critical transportation component for the US 98 corridor in the Florida panhandle ,” explains Kelley . While the logistical and financial challenges of this multiphase project once presented setbacks , the development underway today reflects Panama City ’ s strong economic growth by creating a more streamlined transportation system through the vital port city .
The project will replace a current at-grade railroad / US 98 crossing with an elevated roadway and ramp system to create free flow conditions for both east and west bound traffic , plus a dedicated spur to provide uninterrupted rail service for the Port of Panama City . These upgrades stand to benefit many within the area .
