==Transportation== ===Airports=== Suwannee County is accessed by air from [[Suwannee County Airport]], located two miles west of Live Oak. It is a publicly operated airport run by the county government that has a paved runway in excess of 4,000 feet, major aircraft maintenance, training, car rental, as well as selling 100LL aviation fuel from the [[Fixed-base operator|FBO]]. There are also many private airparks scattered throughout the county. ===Railroads=== Suwannee County has one surviving railroad line. The primary one is a [[Florida Gulf & Atlantic Railroad]] line formerly owned by [[CSX]], [[Seaboard System Railroad]], [[Seaboard Coast Line Industries]] and [[Seaboard Air Line Railroad]] that served [[Amtrak]]'s ''[[Sunset Limited]]'' until it was truncated to [[New Orleans]] in 2005 by [[Hurricane Katrina]]. [[Union Depot and Atlantic Coast Line Freight Station]] was Suwannee County's premiere railroad station on the corner of US 129 & SR 136 in Live Oak, and served both the [[Atlantic Coast Line Railroad]] and [[Seaboard Air Line Railroad]] but has not been in use since 1971, with the termination of the [[Louisville and Nashville]] and [[Seaboard Coast Line]]'s ''[[Gulf Wind]]'' (New Orleans - Jacksonville). The Seaboard Air Line operated two passenger trains a day in each direction until 1966 or 1967.<ref>''Official Guide of the Railways,'' June 1966, Seaboard Air Line section</ref> Various abandoned lines also exist within the county, one of which was converted into the Suwannee River Greenway Trail, along the southeastern part of the county. ===Major roads=== {{Main|List of county roads in Suwannee County, Florida}} * {{jct|I|10|state=FL|name1=Interstate 10 / [[Florida State Road 8|SR 8]]}} is the main interstate highway through Swuannee County, running west and east through the panhandle from Alabama to Jacksonville. Three interchanges exist in the county at US 90 east of Falmouth, (Exit 275), US 129 in Live Oak (Exit 283), and CR 137 north of Wellborn (Exit 292). * {{jct|I|75|state=FL|name1=Interstate 75 / [[Florida State Road 93|SR 93]]}} also is an interstate highway, running south and north, but only in a remote area of eastern Suwannee County known as Pouchers Corner, and only has an interchange with SR 136 (Exit 439). * {{jct|US|27|state=FL|name1=[[Florida State Road 20|SR 20]]}} runs from southeast to northwest along the southern portion of the county, from the Ichetucknee River Bridge at the Ichetucknee Springs State Park thru the Frank R. Norris Bridge over the Suwannee River in Branford. * {{jct|US|90|state=FL|name1=[[Florida State Road 10|SR 10]]}} was the main west-to-east route through Suwannee County until it was supplanted by I-10. * {{jct|US|129|state=FL|name1=[[Florida State Road 49|SR 49]] / [[Florida State Road 249|SR 249]]}} is the main south-to-north route within the county. It enters the county at a bridge across the Santa Fe River north of Bell, Florida in Gilcrhrist County, then joins US 27 from Hildreth to Branford, only to continue north through Live Oak eventually crossing the Suwannee River, this time entering Hamilton County. * {{jct|FL|51|state=FL}} is a south to north state highway that enters Suwannee County from the [[Hal W. Adams Bridge]] then runs northeast towards Live Oak, where it serves as a hidden state road for US 129 north through the Hamilton County Line. * {{jct|FL|136|state=FL|CR|136|county1=Columbia}}; Columbia County Road 136 is a county extension of SR 136. It begins at Columbia CR 250 in Dowling Park and runs along the east side of the Suwannee River, then turns east towards SR 51 in Live Oak. The route overlaps SR 51 even as that route overlaps US 129, then leaves US 129.SR 51 to continue east, becoming a state road before the interchange with I-75 only to cross the Hamilton-Columbia county line. * {{jct|FL|247|state=FL}} is a northeast to southwest road that spans from Branford, and terminates at US 90 in western Lake City, just east of US 90's interchange with I-75 in Columbia County.
