Florida State Road 23
Current route
SR 23 is a partially-built western bypass of Jacksonville. Its south end will be at SR 21, and it is planned to continue south and east as a planned bridge over the St. Johns River (which will connect to SR 9B). The north end will be at SR 8 (I-10), with a possible extension as a northwest bypass to SR 9 (I-95). Currently it is a surface road, built on new right-of-way and a rebuilding of Branan Field Road, but there are plans for a full freeway.

History
SR 23 was originally going to be built as a toll road by the Florida's Turnpike Authority, but those plans fell through.
By mid-2001, the Duval County section was open, and connected south to a local road (Branan Field Road) in [[Clay County, Florida|Clay County.
By late 2004, the Clay County section was added.
