Florida State Road 26

The western terminus of SR 26 is at US 19/98/27 Alternate (unsigned SR 55) in Fanning Springs, near the Gilchrist/Levy county line. The route proceeds east through Trenton where it is named West Wade Street and East Wade Street, then into Alachua County and Newberry as West Newberry Road, until it reaches Interstate 75 just west of Gainesville.

SR 26 (University Avenue) as seen from the University of Florida campus, approaching US 441 (13th Street)/SR 24.

There, it becomes University Avenue, as the road approaches State Road 26A before it runs along the northern edge of the University of Florida campus alongside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, followed by a merge with SR 24 at U.S. Route 441 (13th Street) and SR 20 at former SR 329 (Main Street), separating again near the eastern city limits. Skirting the western and northern shores of Newnan's Lake, it then crosses US 301 in Orange Heights, although a realignment of SR 26 south of the existing intersection was built by the Florida Department of Transportation between 2010 and 2011 which includes an interchange.[2][3] The next town along the route is Melrose, where the road enters the community's historic district, crosses the Alachua-Putnam County line and inteersects SR 21, before it curves to the northeast and ends at SR 100 in Putnam Hall.
