State Road 115 (SR 115) is astate highway in theU.S. state ofFlorida.
SR 115 was built in separately named segments by theJacksonville Expressway Authority. The land for the southern section, south of Beach Boulevard, was donated by Jacksonville's Skinner family. Three siblings – Bryant, Dottie and Richard Jr. – inherited thousands of acres in southeast Duval County and needed roads through the area to access their property and facilitate development. The construction of Southside Boulevard was key to the growth of the south side of Jacksonville.[2][3]
SR 115 runs north asSouthside Boulevard from its terminus atUS 1, providing access toThe Avenues. Right afterwards, the road goes through the largely residential and commercial south side ofJacksonville with crossings at Baymeadows Road (SR 152), Butler Boulevard (SR 202),Beach Boulevard (US 90), andAtlantic Boulevard (SR 10). At the Southside Connector (SR 113), SR 115 turns sharply to become theArlington Expressway, heading west into downtown via theMathews Bridge, where it turns north, becoming theMartin Luther King Jr. Parkway (former Haines Street Expressway), and again turning to the west along with the MLK Parkway (now the former 20th Street Expressway), before reachingI-95. The portion of the MLK Parkway is signed only asUS 1 Alt. andUS 1, not SR 115.
The southern segment serves primarily as a conduit between the residential neighborhoods ofSouthside and the commercialized areas farther north and downtown. Heavy traffic is commonplace along most of the road. To improve traffic flow, especially during rush-hours, in 2023 theFDOT installed Florida's first double median U-turn intersection at the interchange with Beach Blvd. (US 90).[4] In 2024 it also completed a major redesign of the intersection just north of thecloverleaf interchange with SR 202 (Butler Boulevard expressway) and in the same year began reconstructing the intersection just south of the interchange.[5][6] The new intersections' designs replace some of the left turn movements withMichigan left turns in order to reduce the number of traffic light phases.
Approximately two miles of SR 115 run unsigned along I-95. The second section of signed road runs from the junction of I-95 and Norwood Avenue (SR 117) through northwest Jacksonville, passing through the Lake Forest section of the city before crossing a bridge over theRibault River, where it enters Riverview and then crosses another bridge over theTrout River into the eastern edge of the College Park neighborhood, before entering the Garden City neighborhood at the intersection withFlorida State Road 104. FL 115 continues through Garden City, until the interchange withI-295 and runs between the Forest Trails and the territory near theJacksonville International Airport before crossing a bridge over the Thomas Creek where it crosses the Duval-Nassau County Line, and ending at New Kings Rd (US 1/US 23) inCallahan.
The northern segment has the same function as the southern, except that it is built to lower standards and carries traffic south from the densely populated areas northwest of downtown into the heart of the city. Northbound, it is also an alternative to US 1/US 23 as a route to Callahan.
