Florida 415 north meets Seminole County 415 (Celery Avenue) on the approach to the Osteen Bridge. Seminole County 415 travels west to central Sanford along a two-lane residential roadway. The county alignment represents old Florida 415 in conjunction with Peninsula Point, a short road spurring to a marina area adjacent to the Osteen Bridge. Photo taken 02/29/08. Florida 415 immediately enters Volusia County at the St. Johns River crossing. Officially designated the Douglas Stenstrom Bridge, the state road spans the river and its bayou along a two-lane span. Out of view to the left is a portion of the original 1947 bridge over the nearby bayou. Photos taken 02/29/08. Reassurance shield posted north of the bridge at a short access road that spurs to the 1947-bridge remnant.

Scenes pertaining to Florida 415 Looking southward at the old alignment of Florida 415 at the Osteen Bridge on the St. Johns River. The 1947-bridge was removed over the St. Johns River itself, but not the adjacent bayou. A palm tree grows in the former highway right of way at the southbound bridge abutment. Photos taken 02/29/08.
