First, the Jacksonville Transportation Authority conducted a virtual groundbreaking this week for its latest JTAMobilityWorks project on a Northside road.
Alta Drive between Interstate 295 and Burkit Lane will be rebuilt as part of a $38.4 million project.

From there to Ashgrove Road, it will be rebuilt into a four-lane divided urban section, then a five-lane section to Burkit Lane.
