County Road 683A (CR 683A) is the designation previously applied to Airport Circle from University Parkway, then east on Rental Car Road and north on Bradenton Road. [5] [10] The route is now controlled by Sarasota–Bradenton International Airport. The full route of Bradenton Road and 15th Street in Manatee County was the original alignment of SR 683. [11] US 301 was extended south to Sarasota via SR 683 in 1953 with US 301/SR 683 running on a new alignment to the east from the Manatee/Sarasota County line south and entering Sarasota along Washington Boulevard. Bradenton Road was then designated SR 683A. [12] Bradenton Road's connection with 15th Street/301 Boulevard (previously US 301/SR 683) to the north in Manatee County has since been severed due to extensions of the airport's Runway 14/32. [12]

County Road 762 (CR 762) is Laurel Road through Laurel and the northeast section of Venice. [3] The route is signed only at its interchange with Interstate 75. [15]
Laurel Road begins at Bayshore Road in Laurel. It heads east as a two-lane road and it intersects US 41 (Tamiami Trail) about half a mile later. From US 41, Laurel Road continues east as a four-lane undivided road. It crosses the Legacy Trail before running along the north side of Nokomis. Laurel Road enters the northeastern section of Venice as it intersects Interstate 75. Beyond Interstate 75, Laurel Road continues east through residential areas before intersecting Jacaranda Boulevard (CR 765). CR 762 terminates a quarter of a mile east of Jacaranda Boulevard at Ciltadella Drive. Though, Laurel Road continues east under maintenance of the city of Venice another 0.75 mile to Venice Myakka River Park. [14]
Laurel Road was a dirt road in its early years. In the 1960s, it was paved and a bridge was built over Shackett Creek which extended the road further east. [16] When Interstate 75 opened through Sarasota County in 1981, Laurel Road initially did not have an interchange with the new freeway. The crossing of the two roadways was upgraded to a full interchange in 1996 and Laurel Road was widened to four lanes. [17]

County Road 765 (CR 765) is Jarcaranda Boulevard just to the east of Venice. The route is signed only at its interchange with Interstate 75. [15]
Jacaranda Boulevard begins at an intersection with SR 776 (Englewood Road) in South Venice. Less than a mile later, it intersects with US 41 (Tamiami Trail). It continues north on a winding route crossing Alligator Creek into Venice Gardens. North of Alligator Creek, it passes residential communities and the Jacaranda West Country Club. It intersects Center Road and passes more residential communities before coming to a roundabout with Venice Avenue (CR 772), which runs west to central Venice. A mile north of Venice Avenue, Jacaranda Boulevard comes to an interchange with Interstate 75. North of I-75, Jacaranda Boulevard is reduced to two lanes and continues north. At Border Road, it enters Venice city limits and continues north as a two-lane divided road to its northern terminus at Laurel Road (CR 762). [18]
The first segment of Jacaranda Boulevard built was from Center Road south to Alligator Creek in the 1970s to provide access to the Jacaranda communities. [19]
The road was built from Venice Avenue north to Interstate 75 when I-75 opened in Sarasota County in 1981. This segment was originally known as Everglades Boulevard. [19] Later in the decade, Jacaranda Boulevard was extended north from Center Road to Venice Avenue connecting to Everglades Boulevard (which was renamed as an extension of Jacaranda Bouelvard to make the road continuous). [20]
Jacaranda Boulevard was extended south from Alligator Creek to its current southern terminus at Englewood Road (SR 776) in 1987. [21]
On the north end, Jacaranda Boulevard was extended north from I-75 to Border Road in the 1990s. [22] It was further extended to Laurel Road in 2013. [23]

County Road 772 (CR 772) is Venice Avenue, the primary east–west road through Venice. [3]
CR 772 begins in Venice at an intersection with US 41 Business (the original Tamiami Trail). Venice Avenue extends from this point west as a city street less than a mile to the Gulf of Mexico at Venice Beach. From its terminus at US 41 Business, CR 772 runs east over the Intracoastal Waterway on Venice Avenue Bridge, a two-lane bascule bridge. Once across the bridge, CR 772 expands to four lanes and intersects US 41. It continues east through Venice and comes to a roundabout with Jacaranda Boulevard (CR 765) less than a mile after leaving Venice city limits. CR 772 terminates at Jacaranda Boulevard, but Venice Avenue continues east without a designation another three miles to the Myakka River. [26]
Venice Avenue was historically two separate roadways on either side of present-day US 41 (which was the southern end of Albee Farm Road before US 41 was rerouted to its current alignment in 1965). [27]
The western 1.5 miles of Venice Avenue from the Gulf of Mexico was a city street when Venice was incorporated in the 1920s. [28] The road from the Myakka River west was originally a separate road known as Venice Farm Road. At Hatchett Creek, Venice Farm Road shifted north a block and ran along present-day Ridgewood Avenue to Venice. Venice Farm Road was originally part of SR 311, but was redesignated as SR 770 as part of the 1945 Florida State Road renumbering. [29] [30] The west end of Venice Farm Road was realigned to connect with Venice Avenue in the late 1950s, making it part of Venice Avenue. [31]
The Intracoastal Waterway was dug through Venice in the late 1960s after the realignment of US 41. In preparation for the construction of the waterway, Venice Avenue was elevated on to the Venice Avenue Bridge, which was built in 1966. [32] Venice Avenue was designated as SR 772 in the early 1970s. [33] [8] It subsequently became CR 772 when it was given to county control.

It heads north along the eastern edge of Gulf Gate Estates and intersects SR 72 (Clark Road). As it passes Red Bug Slough Preserve, Beneva Road enters South Gate Ridge. It then intersects SR 758 (Bee Ridge Road) 1.5 miles later. North of Bee Ridge Road, Beneva Road runs between Southgate and Sarasota Springs. It then intersects Webber Street and Bahia Vista Street as it continues north. Beneva Road enters Sarasota city limits right after crossing the Legacy Trail. It then intersects SR 780 (Fruitville Road), the primary east–west road through Sarasota. Beneva Road terminates a mile north of Fruitville Road at 17th Street. [34]
The route was previously SR 773. [8]

County Road 774 (CR 774) is the unsigned designation for Manasota Beach Road running from Woodmere to Manasota Key. [3]
CR 774 begins at SR 776 in Woodmere between Venice and Englewood. From here, it runs along Manasota Beach Road west, south, and west to the Intracoastal Waterway. It then crosses the waterway and Lemon Bay on a double-leaf bascule bridge on to Manasota Key. CR 774 terminates 500 feet west of the bridge, though Manasota Beach Road continues south without a designation along Manasota Key. [35]
The route came into existence in the 1920s when the route's first bridge to Manasota Key was built. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers convinced Sarasota County to build the first bridge since they were developing the north end of Manasota Key. [36] The route was designated SR 774 after the 1945 Florida state road renumbering. [8]
The original bridge to Manasota Key was replaced with the current bascule bridge in 1964. [37] The original bridge was replaced due to its age as well as the need for a larger structure since Lemon Bay had become part of the Intracoastal Waterway. [36]

County Road 775A (CR 775A) is the unsigned designation for West Dearborn Street and Old Englewood Road in Englewood. [8] [3]
CR 775A begins at an intersection with SR 776 (Indiana Avenue) and CR 777 (East Dearborn Street) in central Englewood. From here, it heads west along West Dearborn Street for less than a mile before turning north along Old Englewood Road. It runs for 2 miles before terminating at SR 776 (Englewood Road). [38]
Old Englewood Road was the original alignment of Englewood Road entering Englewood. Englewood Road, Old Englewood Road, and Dearborn Street were part of the Tamiami Trail prior to the 1930s. [39] It then became SR 311 up until the 1945 Florida State Road renumbering. After the renumbering, it became SR 775, which continued south thorough Englewood along McCall Road with Dearborn Street east becoming SR 777. SR 775 (which became SR 776 in later years) was realigned to run along an extended Indiana Avenue, with the old route becoming Old Englewood Road. Old Englewood Road and East Dearborn Street were then designated SR 775A (and later CR 775A). [8] [40]

CR 778 begins at University Parkway on the east edge of Sarasota city limits. From here, it proceeds east along Desoto Road. It crosses the Seminole Gulf Railway and continues a short distance to US 301. CR 778 officially terminates at US 301, though Desoto Road continues east as an undesignated to Desoto Lakes. [42]
Desoto Road was originally designated SR 778 and ran between US 41 and US 301. [8] It later became CR 778 after it was relinquished to county control. In the early 1990s, University Parkway (CR 610) was extended west to Desoto Road near Sarasota–Bradenton International Airport. Desoto Road west of University Parkway then became part of University Parkway upon completion of the extension. [43]
