Starke Fla & 301

Google Maps insists I bypass Starke FL on 301 tomorrow (25 April) presumably because of construction. Can't find any news on this on the Web. Anyone know?

    Nice prison in Starke ! Try to make your visit short !


    Back in the day, folks in Jacksonville claimed lights dimmed when Ole Sparky dispatched another miscreant at Raiford (the prison).
  • Came through a few hours ago. It was congested at the 2 places where the bypass will connect but no big deal. Starke itself was congested, as always. Maybe 10 min more, if that. Thanks for the inputs.
  • Thanks all. Great info. Starke has always been slow so the bypass will be nice when finished.
  • We passed through Starke northbound 2 days ago - traffic was slow but no reason to try to bypass - probably extra 10 minutes.
  • There are a couple of "jogs" in the route now, that look like they might be a part of the eventual actual bypass.

    Don't worry about it. Follow the signs......slowly.....and you will be fine.
    When I went through about 10 days ago, the Police were watching both ends of the temporary detour.
  • They are building a bypass, it told me same when we went thru there in January but we had no trouble, I thought the bypass was supposed to be finished first of April.
