Osceola County Road 531 - Pleasant Hill Road
County Road 531 is an unsigned route joining the city of Kissimmee with the community of Poinciana west of Lake Tohopekaliga. The majority of the 11.82 mile long route lines Pleasant Hill Road, the main arterial route leading south to Poinciana. Northern reaches of CR 531 tie into the Kissimmee residential street grid.
CR 531 originates at the dead end along Old Pleasant Hill Road south of Cypress Parkway on Johnson Island. Cypress Parkway east becomes Pleasant Hill Road north across Reedy Creek to the Bellalago development. Pleasant Hill Road continues north through an array of suburban development to U.S. 17/92 near the Kissimmee city line.
Construction of Hoagland Boulevard, an arterial belt route encircling west Kissimmee, upgraded CR 531 north from U.S. 17/92 into a four lane arterial. The unmarked route lines Jack Calhoun Drive north to Old Tampa Highway and Clay Street. Clay Street (CR 531) angles northeast along the CSX Railroad to Randolph Avenuem just east of the viaduct along U.S. 17/92 (John Young Parkway). CR 531 turns north onto Randolph Avenue five blocks to Emmett Street, the historic alignment of U.S. 17/92 east into Downtown Kissimmee.
