Route description

SR 736 begins at US 441, with heading east through a mix of commercial and residential areas in Fort Lauderdale. About two miles (3.22 km) east of the western terminus, SR 736 has an interchange with Interstate 95 (I-95) and continues through a residential area before crossing a drawbridge over the South New River Canal. East of the canal, it continues through the residential areas approaching central Fort Lauderdale. After crossing the Florida East Coast Railway tracks, SR 736 becomes a more commercial route as it quickly approaches US 1. About 60 feet (18 m) afterwards, the state road officially ends at an intersection with Miami Road however SE 12th Street continues east into a residential neighborhood.[2][1]

West of US 441, the road extends west as Peters Road and extends for 3.8 miles (6.1 km) to an intersection with Pine Island Road in Plantation.

History

The route was originally designated State Road 82 by the State Road Department, the forerunner of Florida Department of Transportation. In the 1980s, FDOT extended the State Road designation 3.1 miles (5.0 km) westward from US 441 along Peters Road and renumbered the route to SR 736. In the 2000s, the road was truncated back to the original US 441/SR 7 terminus.

Until the extension and redesignation in Broward County, SR 82 was an "interrupted" state road, for there was and still is a SR 82 in southwestern Florida (from Fort Myers to near Immokalee).

The SR 736 designation had previously extended west to University Drive / SR 817 in Plantation.[3]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Broward County.
