A fourth segment of County Road 39 was designated in Hillsborough County along both Paul Buchman Highway and Wheeler Street south into Downtown Plant City. This county road was created when the new $14.8 million alignment for State Road 39 (Alexander Street) opened to the northwest of Plant City on December 23, 2013.1 Maintenance of Wheeler Street transferred to Plant City following the completion of a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) paving project. CR 39 north of I-4 was renumbered as SR 39A in Fall 2017.
Additionally in Hernando County, a lengthy portion of County Road 39 was decommissioned along a combination of Nobleton-Croom Road and Croom-Rital Road between CR 476 at Nobleton and U.S. 98/SR 50 at Rital. The designation still appears on some online mapping sites.
