Florida State Road 776

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A 25-mile-long route serving southern Sarasota County, Florida and northwestern Charlotte County, State Road 776 is a loop road that bypasses North Port.

The western end of SR 776 is a southeastern continuation of SR 45 near South Venice, where US 41 (Tamiami Trail) turns eastward to become the unsigned SR 90. From there, SR 776 continues along Englewood Road through Woodmere and North Indiana Avenue in Englewood. After entering Charlotte County, SR 776 continues eastward as McCall Road, passing through Sancassa before turning to the northeast near Charlotte Beach. The State Road crosses Myakka River before becoming El Jobean Road in El Jobean. The eastern terminus of SR 776 is an intersection with the Tamiami Trail in Murdock, just south of North Port.

The northwestern-southeastern segment (along Englewood Road) was originally a piece of SR 775, which was decomissioned by Florida Department of Transportation before adding it to the other two sections of SR 776 to give the route its current configuration.

A northeastern continuation from the eastern end of SR 776 is Bachman Boulevard, which continues until an intersection with Hillsborough Boulevard at the boundary between Charlotte County and Sarasota County (and the North Port city limit).

Near the eastern end is the Charlotte Sport Complex, the former spring training home of the American League Texas Rangers baseball team.
