Increasing wear from heavy traffic, including a 1993 incident in which a 3 square feet (0.28 m2) fragment of concrete broke loose, forced officials to ban large trucks from the bridge in 1998.

[9] About 2013, The Florida State Department of Transportation (FDOT) began the Your10&95 project to add operational improvements and enhancements to the I-10, I-95 highway interchange in metro Jacksonville.

A planning department held several public meetings to discuss the proposed project and the cost of its construction with residents, community partners and businesses.

During those meetings, it was suggested that as part of the widening project to add two additional traffic lanes to the Fuller Warren bridge, a pedestrian shared use path should be added as well.

As the current bridge provides for no pedestrian or bicycle access, the FDOT agreed to implement the shared use path suggestion, as well as a number of other requests, such as adding traffic noise barriers for residents.
