State Road 76 (SR 76), also known and signed as Kanner Highway, is a 31.504-mile-long (50.701 km) northeast-southwest (signed east–west)

, a navigable waterway connecting the lake and the ocean.

Route description

West of

SR 710
, very little human habitation exists along the southwestern 25 miles (40 km) of SR 76.

Northeast of the two expressways, the human presence is more pronounced (a marina is located on the canal between the turnpike and I-95, for example) as the urbanization undergone by Florida's extreme southeastern counties has penetrated Martin County.[2]

History

State Road 76 was formed by the former State Roads 85 and 109 in the 1945 renumbering. SR 76's routing has been unchanged since 1945.[3]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Martin County.
