The Cross Seminole Trail runs along the former right of way of the Sanford and Indian River Railroad from Winter Springs to Oviedo.
[3] The Cross Seminole Trail was opened in 2002 to provide Central Florida with easy access to a greenway, or outdoor recreation.
Due to the popularity of the trail, plans were made for an expansion of the existing leg near Oviedo and Winter Springs, Florida.
With the construction of this overpass, the route is able to continue into Heathrow, in Lake Mary utilizing an existing pedestrian bridge over Interstate 4.
Seminole County Public Works finished bridging the 0.6-mile gap in the trail between Layer Elementary School to just north of Old Sanford Oviedo Road in Winter Springs near S.R 419 in the Fall of 2021.
