Back in 2014 I took Florida State Route 24 to it's western terminus on the Gulf of Mexico at Cedar Key located in Levy County. From Otter Creek at US 19/98 it is an approximately 21 mile drive west to the terminus of FL 24 at Cedar Key. FL 24 has an unsigned terminus at D Street and 2nd Street. The real only indication that FL 24 has ended is the quality of the asphalt drops considerably suddenly as maintenance drops from FDOT to the City of Cedar Key. The terminus of FL 24 is easily located however since the Cedar Key Historical Museum is next to it. There is also a local street sign displaying FL 24 at 2nd Street and D Street. There is also an older FDOT Wayside sign still in use despite being heavily weathered. The really interesting part of Cedar Key is along Dock Street. Dock Street overlooks the original Cedar Key settlement on Atsena Otie Key and becomes very apparent that it was once end of the Florida Railroad. ...
Because every road has a story.
