The Fuller Warren Bridge is the prestressed-concrete girder bridge that carries Interstate 95 (I-95) across the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida. The current structure was finished in October 2002, replacing the original bascule-bridge span, finished in 1954.
The current bridge was designed by HNTB Corporation in 1990 and built by Balfour Beatty Construction. It is over 7,500 ft (2,286 m) long, with a main span of 250 feet (76 m), and a vertical clearance of 75 ft (23 m). When completed in 2000, it carried eight lanes across the span.
In the spring of 2018, a construction project began to add two more lanes and a shared-use path to the bridge which was completed in spring 2023.
The eastern end of the transcontinental Interstate 10 (I-10) meets I-95 just west of the bridge.
