List of unused highways in Florida

An unused highway may reference a highway or highway ramp that was partially or fully constructed but was unused^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9] or later closed^[10]^[11]^[12]. An unused ramp can be referred to as a stub ramp^[13], stub street^[14]^[2]^[15], stub-out^[2], or simply stub^[16]^[17]. The following is a list:

Florida

Jacksonville

Ramp stubs were built in 1991 as part of the reconstruction of the Interstate 95 and Interstate 10 interchange^[18]^[19]. One stub ramp became a high speed, right-hand exit from I-95 northbound to I-10 westbound [19] Street view on August 16, 2008, and two other stub ramps became an integral part of the collector/distributor lanes on I-95, north of the interchange, [20] as of May 2007^[20]. [21]

A stub ramp exists along State Road 9A southeast of the city. [22] This stub will lead to State Road 9B (soon to be Interstate 795)^[21].

Kendall

The Florida Turnpike has a set of ramp stubs near its junction with the Don Shula Expressway (State Road 874) near Kendall. Originally, Florida Route 874 was supposed to continue southward toward Homestead on the current alignment of the turnpike, with the turnpike extending to the southwest, along a continuation of the current alignment of Florida Route 874^[22]^[23]. Southbound Florida Route 874 also has a remnant of a ramp stub as it crosses Snapper Creek just east of the turnpike. The bridge over the creek is wider than normal, which facilitated the ramp at the time.[23]

Miami

A stub exists on an onramp from northbound State Road 953 (LeJeune Road) to westbound State Road 836 (Dolphin Expressway). This was removed in the 1990s, which eliminated the connection that encouraged weaving on the expressway^[24]. Now southbound State Road 953 traffic must take three surface streets west to NW 45th Avenue to reach westbound State Road 836. [24] Old configuration

A stub ramp exists on the State Road 836/Dolphin Expressway at NW 17th Avenue. This is what is left over from when the expressway and adjacent tollgate were reconstructed from 2000 to 2003^[25]. The exit for NW 15th Avenue and NW South River Drive existed originally on the bridge over NW 17th Avenue. This exit and the one for southbound NW 17th Ave were combined for a more westerly beginning and given their own toll plaza. Also as a result of this reconstruction, unused pavement stands just before the NW 15th Ave/NW South River Dr split. [25] Photo and map views of the previous configuration.

St. Petersburg

Southbound Interstate 275 has a ramp stub just west of 31st Street South. [26] [27] It was intended to be an on-ramp from a proposed Pinellas Beltway expressway that was killed in 1978^[26].

The interchange between Interstate 275 and Interstate 375 features a ramp stub, as it was originally intended to have a direct connection between I-375 and 20th Street North (a planned extension of I-375 was killed prior to construction of the interchange ^[27]) [28]. The Florida Department of Transportation decided that an additional ramp to a nearby surface street was unnecessary and cancelled the rest of the construction^[28].

Sweetwater

The original, temporary^[29] western terminus of the State Road 836 (Dolphin Expressway) featured ramp stubs not only on the westbound mainline before drivers merge onto Florida's Turnpike near Doral and Sweetwater, but also on the cloverleaf-style onramp from the southbound turnpike to eastbound State Road 836. Construction of a new westward extension of State Road 836^[30] [29] changed the original route, based on aerial observation of then [30] and now [31], and eliminated all but one of the ramp stubs, found near the end of the southbound turnpike to eastbound State Road 836 ramp. [32] Here are pre-construction (1999) ground shots. [33][34]

Fruit Cove

A few small stubs exist at the intersection of Race Track Rd and Bartram Park Blvd.
