State Road 826 (SR 826) is a bypass route around the greater Miami area, traveling approximately 30 miles (48 km) in a northeasterly arc from U.S. Route 1 (US 1) in Pinecrest to its terminus at State Road A1A in Sunny Isles Beach. Between its southern terminus and the Golden Glades Interchange, State Road 826 is known as the Palmetto Expressway, a heavily traveled freeway with portions of the road carrying in excess of 250,000 vehicles a day.[2] Unlike many of the other non-interstate freeways in Miami-Dade County, the Palmetto Expressway is untolled.[5][6] East of the interchange, State Road 826 is a surface road connecting North Miami and North Miami Beach to Sunny Isles Beach over the Intracoastal Waterway.[7]

A series of state-maintained frontage roads flank the freeway portion between Northwest 17th Avenue on the east, and Ludlam Road (westbound) and Miami Lakes Drive (eastbound) on the west. They carry the hidden designation of State Road 826F.[8]
