DON'T DO IT!
Besides the plethora of traffic lights past Green Cove Springs, once you get near I-295 it can take 15 minutes...AFTER you're within eyeball distance of the I-295 overpass.
And you have to work your way over to the far right lane (only the far right lane can exit) at least a mile before you get to the exit...because people
will not let you in (I think they get tired of line jumpers who try to cut in front to reduce their wait time).
Conversely, if you do get in the right lane early enough there will be those that try to cut right in front of you...if you leave more than three feet between your front bumper and the car in front of you.
It's been over a year since I've went that way, so maybe they've made two turn lanes since...but I doubt it.
