Brevard County Road 516 (locally known as Palm Bay Road)is a former Florida State Road in Brevard County, located entirely in Palm Bay. Between CR 509 and Florida State Road 507, it forms the southern borders of the cities of West Melbourne and Melbourne. Between the western terminus and Riviera Drive, the eastbound lanes have rough pavement. CR 516 is mostly 4 lanes wide, but 2 lanes wide in downtown Palm Bay. Just west of Interstate 95, an access road called Culver Drive spurs off Emerson Drive and provides access to Interstate 95 for residents of Palm Bay enclosed by CR 509, SR 514, Interstate 95, and Palm Bay Road itself. At Interstate 95, Palm Bay Road forms an overpass that has the name "Palm Bay" on both sides of the overpass. It was ericted in 2002, and modified ever since. In Downtown Palm Bay, it shortly makes 2 harpin bends and running concurrent with Main Street, just before the Florida East Coast Railroad. The eastern terminus is with an intersection with US 1 in Downtown Palm Bay, at the shore of Palm Bay, and near the mouth of Turkey Creek. The western terminus is with an intersection of CR 509 in Palm Bay, just 262 inches south of West Melbourne.
