Abandoned incomplete street in St Johns County FL

[Brian556]

This is kinda strange...a new major street that was abandoned before completion. I'm guessing that it was for a new development that could not be completed due to a bankruptcy or something like that.

Not entirely uncommon in Florida; the Ocala westside parkway (which has various names because of Ocala's fairly strict grid-pattern street numbering) has a section like that south of SW 20th Street: viz. If it's like the Ocala situation, they had the money for part of the project and then paving got pushed back (and back and back...).

Google Malabar Woods Blvd. in Malabar. Same situation, just older. During the real estate boom, developers were often required to improve the local infrastructure as part of the permitting process. When the market crashed and development plans were put on hold, privately supported infrastructure projects were as well.

There's an entire incomplete section of I-189 in Burlington: http://goo.gl/maps/RVIXo
