By 1963, the JFX was completed as far south as Guilford Avenue and, by the mid-1970s, was extended to Monument Street. By 1983, the route extended all the way to Pleasant Street, with a dead-end bridge stub indicating plans to continue south along the 3-A alignment to I-95.

In September 1982, however, the segment of the JFX between Pleasant Street and I-95, a distance of {{convert|4.4|mi|km}}, was officially withdrawn from the [[Interstate Highway System]]. Robert Douglas, then the chief of the Interstate Division for Baltimore City (IDBC), stated at the time that the very high financial costs of the I-83 extension (estimated at $609&nbsp;million in the early 1980s [equivalent to ${{Formatprice|{{Inflation|US-GDP|609000000|1979}}}} in {{Inflation/year|index=US-GDP}}{{Inflation/fn|index=US-GDP}}], and likely to reach $1&nbsp;billion [equivalent to ${{Formatprice|{{Inflation|US-GDP|1000000000|1979}}}} in {{Inflation/year|index=US-GDP}}{{Inflation/fn|index=US-GDP}}] with inflation taken into account) led to the cancelation of the segment. As a result, the JFX was truncated at Fayette Street, ending at an at-grade intersection.<ref name="kozel3">{{Cite web |last=Kozel |first=Scott M. |date=June 13, 2003 |title=Baltimore Interstate Highway Cancellation Details |url=https://groups.google.com/g/misc.transport.road/c/X-AgKTL962Y/m/XHT4Z5k-HTYJ?pli=1 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121110051641/http://groups.google.com/group/misc.transport.road/msg/361d3e9967f8745c?dmode=source |archive-date=November 10, 2012 |access-date=January 14, 2024 |website=[[Google Groups]]}}</ref>

To make up for the loss of the I-83 segment, the Jones Falls Boulevard project substantially rebuilt approximately {{Convert|0.5|mi|km}} of President Street between I-83 and the downtown area to provide the capacity to absorb traffic to and from the Interstate; the project was completed by 1987. Other roadways in the canceled I-83 corridor also benefited from major reconstruction and rehabilitation.<ref name="kozel3"/> The federal funding planned to be used for the I-83 extension was instead cross-transferred to other highway projects; routes that may have benefited{{Original research inline|date=August 2009}} include [[Interstate 97|I-97]], [[Interstate 195 (Maryland)|I-195]], [[Interstate 370|I-370]], and the upgrade of a portion of the [[John Hanson Highway]] to [[Interstate 595 (Maryland)|I-595]].
