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 serves as 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 highway acts as main artery in Fellsmere, where it passes through its downtown as Pennsylvania Avenue.[3]
CR 512 serves a 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 to enter and leave the city. During Hurricane Milton in October 2024, a culvert collapsed, causing CR 512 to be impassable until January 2025.[4][5][6][7]
In 2026, a 2.5-mile portion of the highway between I-95 and CR 510 will be redesignated State Road 512 (SR 512) when the roadway is transferred to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).[8][9]
