County Road 709 (Florida)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

County Road 709 is an 18-mile-long street in southwestern St. Lucie County and northwestern Martin County in southern Florida, USA. It is a north-south route locally known as Hale Dairy Road and Southwest Allapattah Road. After Florida Department of Transportation reverted the former State Road 709 to county control in the 1980s, the road was given St. Lucie County Road 709 and Martin County Road 709 signs.

The southern terminus of CR 709 is an intersection with Bee Line Highway (SR 710) near Indiantown; the northern terminus is an intersection with Glades Cut-off Road (former SR 609, current CR 609) near Cena. Like CR 609, CR 709 does not have a single turn anywhere along its route through the sparsely-populated woodlands and wetlands in southeastern Florida between Lake Okeechobee and the Atlantic Ocean.
