Buckman BridgeThe Buckman Bridge carries I-295 traffic over the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida. It is of beam-type construction, approximately 3.2 miles (7 km) in length, and travels roughly east-west. The eastbound (southbound) and westbound (northbound) lanes are built on separate bridge structures. About 1995, it was expanded from two lanes in each direction with no breakdown lanes to four lanes in each direction with breakdown lanes. With two busy exits within a half mile of either end of the bridge, rush-hour backups are typical. Downtown Jacksonville and Naval Air Station Jacksonville are visible from the bridge to the north. On a clear day, the Georgia-Pacific paper mill in Palatka can be seen to the south of the bridge.
