State Road 62 (SR 62) is a 37-mile (60 km) state highway in Manatee and Hardee counties in the US state of Florida that passes through scrubland from Parrish to near Bowling Green. Route description [ edit ]
Every section of U.S. Highway and Interstate Highway has a State Road number assigned to it, usually unsigned (for example, Interstate 4 is also unsigned SR 400). In addition to some named toll roads (for example, 91 and 821 , which make up Florida's Turnpike ) some minor State Roads are also unsigned (like SR 913 and SR 5054 ).
The U.S. Highways in Florida are the segments of the United States Numbered Highway System maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Prior to 1993, Florida used colored shields for its U.S. Highways. There are 18 current U.S. Highways in Florida and 2 former U.S. Highways.
Until about 1980, [citation needed] a 0.6-mile-long (0.97 km) spur from SR 520 to Lake Poinsett was designated State Road 520A by FDOT and its predecessor, the State Road Department. [4] Known locally as Lake Poinsett Road, the former SR 520A is the sole access road to Poinsett Groves and Poinsett Shores .
The road intersected what were then SR 99 and SR 380 (now both CR 99) around Walnut Hill, and SR 4 (now CR 4) south of the Alabama state line. [7] On maps from 1978, the entire road had been paved in hard surface. The state roads it had intersected in 1955 had all been re-signed as county roads, bringing SR 97 to its current form. [8]
Briefly after crossing the county line, SR 20 continues southeast before turning east into Choctaw Beach, skirting along the Choctawhatchee Bay, as a two lane road.Upon leaving Choctaw Beach, the speed limit increases from 45 mph (72 km/h) to 55–60 mph (89–97 km/h) into Portland, intersecting Eglin Site C-6 before intersecting County Road 83A, a loop road, twice in Freeport.
The road was added to the state highway system in the 1920s with various designations. The route was originally SR 18 from Palma Sola Bay to Bradenton, SR 63 from US 41 in Bradenton to a point east of Zolfo Springs (at present-day SR 636 ), and SR 32 east of there to Avon Park.
