Seminole County, Florida, has an extensive system of walking and bicycle trails. The Cross Seminole Trail is being developed to provide a trail that goes east and west across the county, and connects the major north south trail along the old Orange Belt Railroad to trails south and east in Orange County.

The biggest obstacle in building the Cross Seminole Trail is finding a safe way to cross Interstate Highway 4. The trail was routed over a highway overpass, but it was still a difficult crossing due to the large volume of traffic in this area. A need was recognized to build a dedicated trail overpass. A cable stayed design was picked to avoid having to place any structure within the right-of-way on I-4. This lead to the 373 foot long clear span over the highway.

The first two photos were taken from a parking lot on the west side of the highway. The third photo is an aerial photo clipped from one of the Internet mapping services. It would have been nice to get a photo from the highway level, but I-4 was simply too busy to safely take a 35mm shot through the windshield.
