I believe 9A, soon to be designated I 295, is now completed around the eastern side of Jacksonville. If you are going to to Ormond then I would think 9A would be better than 295 around the western side of Jax.
However, the Ormond route is miles out of your way. You can shave a few miles off that by taking US 1 south of St. Augustine then at Bunnell take a right on CR 11. Then it is a pleasant 18 mile drive to Rt. 40 and you seem to be familiar with the remaining trip. Our daughter lives in St. Augustine Beach and that is our route.
We moved here from Jax and go back there a lot. We prefer the I 10/US 301 route to Belleview. Once in Belleview continue on 301 or follow US27/441 depending where your destination is in The Villages.
Watch the postage speed limits on 301. 45 MPH means just that!!!
Have a safe pleasant trip.
