Florida State Road 202

Florida State Road 202 (SR 202) is a "limited access" expressway that extends for 12.6 miles from US 1 (Philips Highway) in Jacksonville to SR A1A (3rd street) in Jacksonville Beach, just north of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL and includes a bridge over the Intercostal Waterway. To locals, the road is better known as J. Turner Bulter Boulevard or by its acronym, JTB. It was constructed in sections by the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (also known as the JTA or before 1971 as the Jacksonville Expressway Authority). The first section opened in 1979 and the last section (the A1A interchange in Jacksonville Beach) opened in 1997.

The expressway is named for James Turner Butler, a well-known Jacksonville attorney and Florida legislator who was instrumental in advancing various transportation projects in the Jacksonville region and the establishment of the Jacksonville Expressway Authority. Initially, when JTB/SR 202 opened it was often ridiculed by locals as being "the road to nowhere." Nowadays with the explosive growth on Jacksonville's Southside as well as the beaches and St. John's County (partly catalyzed by the road's own existence), life without JTB would be inconceivable. SR 202 intersects two interstate highways, I-95 and the I-295 loop around Jacksonville (currently signed as SR 9A) and would have most likely been designated an interstate (extension) itself were it not for the short distance between interchanges along some sections of the road which violate minimum interstate highway standards. This was done in order to accommodate access to JTB from landowners along the route who provided the right-of-way for the road's construction.

JTB was a toll road until 1988 when the JTA removed all the toll collection facilities in Jacksonville. Due to the heavy traffic on JTB and projected continued growth in the Jacksonville region, the Florida Department of Transportation in the early 2000's conducted a study on making long term improvements to JTB. The results of the study recommended widening the road and creating "inside" express lanes with limited on and off points along the route, surrounded by additional "outside" local lanes, albeit at a considerable cost.
