Description The Purple Alternative begins at the proposed Branan Field-Chaffee Road / Blanding Blvd. interchange in Clay County and heads in a southeasterly direction towards Black Creek. After crossing Black Creek, the Purple Alternative proceeds in a southeasterly direction away from Black Creek towards Green Cove Springs and crosses the St. Johns River at one of its narrower locations, proceeding into St. Johns County. The alternative continues in a northeasterly direction toward the proposed SR 9B/I-95 interchange near the St. Johns County/Duval County line. The Purple Alternative then turns towards the east, interchanging with CR 2209 south of Race Track Road. The alternative continues to the northeast, connecting to I-95 at proposed SR 9B. The length of the Purple Alternative is 25.6 miles. Interchanges along the Purple Alternative are provided for in Clay County at SR 21, the proposed College Drive extension, and US 17. Interchanges in St. Johns County are provided for at Greenbriar Road, CR 2209, the planned Race Track Road Extension, and I-95. The Purple Alternative uses a 4-lane roadway section from a point just north of SR 21 to the interchange with the proposed College Drive extension in Clay County. From the College Drive extension interchange, the Purple Alternative crosses the river with a 6-lane bridge, continuing with a 6-lane roadway section until a location just west of the interchange at CR 2209 in St. Johns County.
