State Road 816 (SR 816), locally known as Oakland Park Boulevard is a 13.420-mile-long (21.597 km) east–west commercial and commuter road serving central Broward County, Florida. It extends from its western terminus at the Sawgrass Expressway to its eastern terminus at the intersection with Ocean Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.
Route description
State Road 816 passes through mainly residential zones of Sunrise, Lauderhill, Lauderdale Lakes, Oakland Park, Wilton Manors, and Fort Lauderdale. It starts as a spur of Exit 3 of the Sawgrass Expressway, and then merges with the northern terminus of Flamingo Road as it heads east. The 3.7-mile-long (6.0 km) section between the Sawgrass Expressay and University Drive has the hidden designation of County Road 816.[2]
After its intersection with University Drive, SR 816 continues for 2.3 miles (3.7 km), passing over Florida's Turnpike without an interchange at the border between Lauderhill and Lauderdale Lakes, and intersecting US 441 (State Road 7) 1 mile (1.6 km) later.
After passing US 441, SR 816 enters the city of Oakland Park. For 2.6 miles (4.2 km), SR 816 passes through residential zones, with some businesses dotting the road, until its interchange with Interstate 95. After I-95, SR 816 forms the border between Oakland Park and Wilton Manors for 1.2 miles (1.9 km), with an intersection with Powerline Road 0.2 miles (0.32 km) from the interchange. Soon after, SR 816 intersects the Dixie Highway, followed by an intersection with Federal Highway one mile later as the road enters Fort Lauderdale. The Coral Ridge Mall is located at the northeast corner of the intersection with Federal Highway.
After Federal Highway, SR 816 continues for another mile before terminating at Ocean Boulevard.
