- State Road 555 (SR 555) from East Main Street in Bartow to US 92/SR 600 in Lake Alfred.
- SR 600 from Lake Alfred to DeLand along the course of the route's cosigning with US 92.
- SR 15 from the intersection with SR 50 and US 17/US 92/SR 15 south in Orlando to the Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway interchange in Jacksonville.
- SR 5 from the Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway interchange in Jacksonville to the Georgia state line over the St. Marys River.
