Brooksville truck route

U.S. Highway 98 Truck
Location:	Brooksville

U.S. Route 98 Truck is the truck detour for US 98 around Brooksville, Florida. Although a significant portion of the truck route exists within the city limits, it still avoids historic downtown Brooksville by moving to the south and the west. The route exists in concurrency with two existing State Roads and one County Road, and never independently.

Beginning at Jasmine Avenue, and East Jefferson Road(State Road 50A), Truck US 98 runs in concurrency with State Road 50 in a southwesterly direction. As it approaches County Road 581 it turns from southwest to direct west. Crossing the railroad tracks near County Road 445, the road passes by a large church before curving slightly to the northwest. This segment also contains the secret designation of State Road 700, until it reaches the intersection of U.S. Route 41. Here, State Road 700 leaves the truck route, and heads north along US 41(SR 45) until branching off to Ponce De Leon Boulevard to rejoin US 98. Meanwhile, SR 50/Truck US 98 passes a branch of the Brooksville Post Office, and makes a northbound curve at Horse Lake Drive, then at the Hernando County Sheriff's Office before meeting West Jefferson Road. This entire section of SR 50/US Truck 98 was widened from two lanes to four lanes in the early-21st Century.

While SR 50 takes its sharp left turn toward Weeki Wachee, and SR 50A begins eastbound into downtown Brooksville, Truck Route US 98 continues north along County Road 485, also known as Cobb Road. From that intersection it narrows down to two lanes, as it approaches a four-way stop intersection and accompanying red blinker-lights with County Road 484(West Ford Dade Avenue).

Two old sections of Cobb Road used to exist. One is to the right north of County Road 484(West Fort Dade Avenue), and the other is a mining road that runs from the intersection with Yontz Boulevard to an isolated section of County Road 476(Lake Lindsey Road) in Stafford.

Crossing the railroad tracks a second time after the intersection with Yontz Road(Former County Road 485B), the road winds through a rural field between a mining area and a hilly region before finally reuniting with US 98 south of the Willow Prairie Lake area. Truck Weigh Stations exist just west of the northern terminus of Truck US 98 on the right of way of a former railroad crossing.
