Purple
Corridor
Description
The Purple Corridor 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 Corridor proceeds in a southeasterly
direction towards Green Cove Springs and turns east towards the
St. Johns River
after crossing CR 315. Two local access interchanges would be provided in
Clay
County
prior to crossing the
St. Johns River. The first interchange would be located at a future planned highway in Clay
County
known as the College Drive
extension. The College Drive
extension begins at the intersection of Henley Road
and CR 209 and extends directly south to SR 16, terminating just west of the
Pier Station neighborhood. The interchange for this facility would be
approximately ¼ mile north of CR 739B. The second interchange for the Purple
Corridor would be located at US 17 north of CR 315, servicing Green Cove Springs
to the south and the Fleming
Island area to the north.
The corridor continues east, crossing the St. Johns River at a location north
of Green Cove Springs and proceeds directly east into St. Johns
County. Upon entering St. Johns County, the corridor overpasses SR 13, north of Popo Point, and heads northeasterly
toward the proposed 9B extension. The first local access interchange in St.
Johns County would be at Greenbriar Road, west of Roberts Road.
The corridor continues east, following an existing right-of-way reservation
secured as part of the Durbin Crossing DRI. The final local access interchange
for the Purple Corridor would be located at the intersection of the proposed 9B
extension and CR 2209. This would provide for a continuous
limited access highway into southern Duval, northern St. Johns
County.
