Palm Beach County transferred the road to the Florida Department of Transportation in 2008 to create this truck bypass, which also uses SR 715 south of SR 812.[2] Signs are now posted banning through trucks from Belle Glade, similar to those directing trucks around Pahokee on SR 729.[3] A similar proposal had been made twenty years earlier.[4]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Palm Beach County.
