caption_attribution_description: English: Westbound view of a bike path along the south side of Citrus County Road 486 (Norvelle Bryant Highway) at a hill with a six percent grade between Citrus Hills and Hernando, Florida. Fun to ride down, unless there's a car or truck at the intersection with the private farm road at the bottom of the hill.
context_page_description: The following is a list of county roads in Citrus County, Florida. All county roads are maintained by the county in which they reside.
context_section_description: Citrus County Road 486 begins at SR 44 across from the intersection of North Dunkenfield Avenue. The road passes by some local residencies and businesses until it reaches a moderately wide power Line Right-of-Way, and then the western terminus of West Pine Ridge Boulevard, the western gateway to Pine Ridge. The opposite side of the road is a large ranch field. Somewhere within this vicinity is the proposed right of way for the Citrus County extension of the Suncoast Parkway which will have no interchanges with CR 486 once it is constructed. The first street that passes for a major intersection along CR 486 in County Road 491 (Lecanto Highway). After this, the road briefly climbs a hill until it reaches North Crooked Branch Drive. Between the Oak Hill Estates and Timberline Estates neighborhoods, CR 486 makes a slight northeast reverse curve before entering Citrus Hills where it encounters the intersection with North Forest Ridge Boulevard and North Terra Vista Boulevard, the former of which is the southern gateway to Beverly Hills, and the latter of which leads to the Terra Vista neighborhood. Along the way, the road passes the Heritage Oaks neighborhood, and then at North Essex Avenue, West Norvelle Bryant Highway becomes East Norvelle Bryant Highway. The first intersection along East Norvelle Bryant Highway is the gateway to The Villages of Citrus Hills, but only after passing a nearby hotel on the south side of the road.
  The divider ends momentarily at North Annapolis Avenue, and at North Trucks Avenue the road makes a slight reverse curve to the south and then east, which ends at some farmland where the divider begins again, and a steep climb is in store for the bike path that ends at Thatcher Terrace. At some point it enters Hernando, where it crosses a small power line right-of-way before the intersection with the northern terminus of North Croft Avenue and then has another intersection with the driveway to Hernando Elementary School Later it also by the former home of the Ted Williams Museum. At the intersection of North Railroad Way, the route crosses the Withlacoochee State Trail, which was realigned one block west when CR 486 was being widened to four lanes, and overlaps the bike path along the south side of the route. It also includes a trailhead on the north side east of Railroad Avenue. Citrus County Road 486 and East Norvelle Bryant Highway both end at US 41, however the same intersection continues as a local road named East Parsons Point Road which becomes a dirt road east of North Wheaton Point Drive, and ends at another dirt road named North Reba Path, which is a dead end street in both directions.
