History
Constructed as an integral part of the Jacksonville Skyway's Southbank extension, Kings Avenue station facilitates transit across the St. Johns River via the Acosta Bridge. It commenced operations on November 1, 2000, simultaneously with the neighboring Riverplace station, marking the completion of Phase I in the Skyway's Southbank development. A pedestrian passage beneath Interstate 95 links the station to the Kings Avenue Garage, a dedicated park-and-ride structure. Multiple bus routes operated by the Jacksonville Transportation Authority also provide service to this location.
Functioning as the southern endpoint of the Skyway, Kings Avenue station acts as a vital transportation node adjacent to numerous hotels and residential high-rises, enhancing commuter convenience and urban transit integration. The subsequent stop traveling north is Riverplace.
