Florida State Road 706

Florida State Road 706

Now roughly one-third its original length, State Road 706 is a 5-mile-long road connecting Florida's Turnpike, Interstate 95 (SR 9), US 1 (SR 5), and Ocean Avenue (SR A1A) in Jupiter. Signed east-west, SR 706 is also known locally as Indiantown Road.

While SR 706 was primarily a rural road as recently as the 1980s, the region has become urbanized in recent years as the population growth of Florida Gold Coast and nearby Treasure Coast has been transforming the Atlantic coast of Florida south of Kennedy Space Center.

Originally, SR 706 spanned 14 miles from Bee Line Highway (SR 710) near Indiantown to its present eastern terminus. In the mid-1970s, Florida Department of Transportation downgraded the section west of the Turnpike to secondary status (and placed "S" stickers on the SR 706 signs), starting a sequence of events that started the reversion of the western segment to county control (to Palm Beach County Road 706). This was part of a large set of transformations that particularly affected Florida south of State Road 70.
