County Road 613 (St. Lucie County, Florida)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

County Road 613 (formerly State Road 613) is a 9.7-mile-long north-south road in southwestern St. Lucie County, Florida, locally known as Sneed Road and Carlton Road. The southern terminus of CR 613 is the eastern end of a short east-west section of Carlton Road, five miles south of Okeechobee Road (Carlton Road then continues southward without State or county designation four miles until an intersection with Glades Cut-off Road, the former SR 709 and current CR 709). The northern terminus of the former SR 613 is an intersection with Orange Avenue (SR/CR 68).

County Road 613 is primarily a rural road dedicated to serving orange groves in a region between the headwaters of the St. Johns River to the north and the Everglades to the south. The region is sparsely populated.

In the mid 1970s, Florida Department of Transportation started a system of redesignations that transformed the map of southern Florida. State Road 613 was tagged as a "county" road, starting a process that transferred SR 613 into county control.
