Florida State Road 35 - Route Description

Route Description

It is mainly signed as a hidden route along U.S. Highways:

  • U.S. Route 17: Punta Gorda to Bartow.
  • U.S. Route 98: Zolfo Springs to Trilacoochee (which also carries hidden SR 700).
  • U.S. Route 301: Clinton Heights, south of Dade City to Belleview (which also carries hidden SR 39 to Trilacoochee).

In Bartow, SR 35 turns west and is co-signed along SR 60 (East Main Street), before turning north again on North Broadway Avenue, and rejoining US 98 again at Van Fleet Drive.

Evidence of SR 35's existence can be found in Hardee County, Florida along Hardee County Roads 35A & 35B in Coker, Wauchula, and Zolfo Springs. Polk County's evidence of SR 35's existence can be found with Polk Alternate County Road 35 between Lakeland and Providence, and in Pasco County, Florida, evidence of SR 35's existence can be found with Pasco Alternate County Road 35 between Branchborough and Dade City. According to some maps, Pasco Alternate County Road 41 (Spring Valley Road) was previously known as Pasco CR 35B, and was extended to US 98-301 north of Dade City along Frazee Hill Road.

Within Belleview, the road is briefly co-signed with US 27-441 (SR 25-500) then turns right at the eastern terminus of Marion CR 484, where it is signed independently along Southeast Hames Road, and then turns left again at Baseline Road, where it curves north as it leaves the city. While State Road 35 terminates at State Road 40 at the Wild Waters amusement park in Silver Springs, the road continues northward as Marion County Road 35 north towards its terminus at State Road 326.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:

    A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
