County Road 512 (CR 512), or Sebastian Boulevard east of Interstate 95 (I-95), is a 20-mile (32 km) major east–west county road in northern Indian River County, Florida. The highway is one of two current I-95 exits in the county.[1] CR 512 connects Indian River County’s largest city, Sebastian, to I-95.[2] The route acts as main street in Fellsmere, where it passes through downtown.[3]
CR 512 serves as vital role for the connectivity of the city of Fellsmere. According to TCPalm, during hurricane evacuations the road is especially important because it is one of two roads connected to the city. During Hurricane Milton in October 2024, a culvert collapsed, causing CR 512 to be impassable until January 2025.[4][5][6][7]
Route description
CR 512 starts at SR 60 near Blue Cypress Lake west of Vero Beach. It continues northward towards Fellsmere before turning northeast towards downtown Fellsmere. CR 512 then shifts east at CR 507, before its interchange with I-95. Finally, at CR 510, CR 512 shifts northeast intersecting CR 505 in Sebastian. Near Delaware avenue in Sebastian, CR 512 splits into two one-way branches before intersecting with US 1.[8][9]
