State Road 826 ( SR 826 ) is a shortcut route around a larger Miami area, traveling about 30 miles (48 km) in the northeast arc of Route 1 AS (USA 1) at Pinecrest to its terminal on State Road A1A in Sunny Isles Beach. Among the southern terminals and the Golden Glades Interchange, State Road 826 is known as the Palmetto Expressway , a freeway that passes through parts of the road carrying more than 250,000 vehicles per day. Unlike many other toll roads in Miami-Dade County, Palmetto Toll Road is not explored. At the east of the intersection, State Road 826 is the surface road connecting North Miami and North Miami Beach to Sunny Isles Beach over the Intracoastal Waterway.

Deskripsi rute
Palmetto Expressway
State Road 826 starts at an intersection with US 1 at Pinecrest, just south of Dadeland Mall, and northwards as Palmetto Toll Road to Kendall. The first exchange, less than a mile (1.6 km) north of the US, is with Kendall Drive (SR 94), which provides access to malls. SR 826 goes north, crossing under the Snapper Creek Expressway (SR 878) without intersection before meeting Sunset Drive (SR 986) at the diamond junction. Later leaving Kendall, proceeding to Glenvar Heights with intersections with Southwest 56th Street/Miller Drive, which provides access to the University of Miami. About half a mile (0.8 km) later, the Don Shula Toll Road (SR 874) joins the Palmetto Express Road at the north end, with its southern exit and entry point north. Between this exchange and the next (at Bird Road/SR 976), SR 826 forms the border between Glenvar Heights and Olympia Heights; passing through it, the highway marks the boundary between Westchester and Coral Terrace. Upon exit with Southwest 24th Street/Coral Way, the motorway meets the Tamiami Trail (US 41), providing access to Florida International University. The exchange also marks the entry point of the Tamiami Trail to Miami, the boundary located on the east side of the toll road.
In the north of the Tamiami Trail interchange, the Palmetto Expressway forms the eastern boundary of Fontainebleau as it continues north towards the exit with Flagler Street (SR 968), the east-west line for Miami-Dade County roads. The freeway then has an intersection with the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) just south of Doral, creating access to Miami International Airport. This exchange is currently being repaired because the current configuration causes severe congestion. Now forming the eastern boundary of Doral, SR 826 continues north toward 25th Street northwest, which connects to the west end of the airport, followed by an exit with Doral Boulevard (SR 948) linking to Doral Golf Resort & Spa, and then exit with Northwest 58th Street. After a brief intersection through the unconnected Miami Dade County, the highway reaches the intersection with Hialeah Expressway (SR 934) in Medley adjacent to Palmetto Metrorail station, followed by a diagonal crossing with 27 US at the southern end of Hialeah Gardens and Hialeah. Then enter Hialeah right after the intersection with Northwest 103rd Street (SR 932), which allows access to Westland Mall. The exit door with West 122nd Street then followed.
At the border between Hialeah and Miami Lakes, the SR 826 reaches the intersection with the southern south terminal of Interstate 75 (I-75) and the western terminal of Gratigny Parkway (SR 924) and SR 916. The Palmetto Expressway enters Miami Lakes, exchanging with Northwest 154 Street, then turn 90 degrees east at the point known as "The Big Curve". The road then runs straight east, forming a boundary between Miami Lakes and Country Club, immediately swap positions with Northwest 67th Avenue. At the next exit, Red Road (SR 823), the highway forms the boundary between the unrelated parts of Miami-Dade County and Miami Gardens, with the expressway entering the city right at the next exit, Northwest 47th Avenue. The highway then passes north of the Florida Memorial University before the exit of Northwest 37th Avenue, where it creates the northern border of St. University's campus. Thomas. Still at the Miami Gardens, the SR 826 then came out with Northwest 27th Avenue (SR 817), Northwest 17th Avenue and Northwest 12th Avenue before reaching the Golden Glades Interchange.
The SR 826 takes an intricate path through the Golden Glades Interchange. It first met the connector ramp between Florida's Turnpike and Interstate 95 (I-95), allowing access from the northern direction of SR 826 to I-95 to the south as well as US 441/SR 9 to the south, and from the Turnpike to the south and I-95 north to southbound SR 826. After turning northeast, SR 826 moves from its main line at the next exit to the main line of the Turnpike that passes through it; The main stream of SR 826, meanwhile, continues as an extension at-level from Northwest 7th Avenue to US 441 to the north. The traffic moving eastwards from SR 826 to the north has to go through an infinite junction here. To the southeast, the first SR 826 crossed over the former Coastline Coastline, beginning to form the northern boundary of the Golden Glades, then passing below the I-95 express line, meets the onramp between I-95 to the south and the Turnpike to the north, and the onramp between the south US 441 and 826 to the east. It then passes the right Interstate 95, which lies between the southern and northern highways of US 441, as it swings back to the northeast and then east once again. Here he meets the last three ramps, one which allows access from AS 441 and I-95 northward eastward SR 826, the other from west to 826 to 441 US and to I-95 to the south, and from the west to SR 826 to the north of AS 441 SR. 826 resumed its east-west orientation once again at a junction marked by Northwest 2nd Avenue, marking the end of the SR 826 freeway.
Non-expressway
State Road 826 leads east from the Golden Glades Interchange as Northwest 167th Street, a six-lane road surface, along the border between Golden Glades and North Miami Beach. Through here, this street is also known as North Miami Beach Boulevard, filled with shops, offices, hotels, and other commercial services. Two blocks after leaving the intersection, the road crosses North Miami Avenue, the frontline extending to Miami-Dade County; thus, the road becomes Northeast 167th Street after passing this point. About 0.75 miles (1.21 km) later, the SR 826 intersected with Northeast 6th Avenue (SR 915). Two blocks later, on Northeast 8th Avenue, North Miami Beach Boulevard began swinging southeast, leaving Northeast 167th Street orientation, reaching Northeast 163rd street about 0.6 miles (0.97 km) then on Northeast 12th Avenue, and taking orientation to east direction. Immediately past the Mall on 163rd Street to his left, continues as a shopping strip for 1.25 miles (2.01 km) where he meets the northern end of SR 909 on the West Dixie Highway. One block later, after crossing the Florida East Coast Train route, SR 826 met US 1 again at Biscayne Boulevard.
To the east of US 1, the character of SR 826 changes as it passes through the mangroves and across the Oleta River, having expanded into eight lanes. With North Miami Beach located north and North Miami just south of the road, the SR 826 passes between more mangroves to the south and more businesses north as it approaches the Waterway Intracoastal. Here, the road splits into separate streets east and west before crossing the Strait of Malacca on a suspension bridge in every direction, and entering the Sunny Isles Beach. The apartment building is lined up outside two sections of the road, with some commercial services in the center, as it continues for 0.36 miles (0.58 km) to the northern terminal of SR 826 on Collins Avenue (SR A1A), one block from the Atlantic Ocean. The flyover allows traffic on the northern SR A1A to move west toward SR 826 without having to stop twice for 826 traffic to the east and across SR A1A.
Traffic volume
The overall traffic volume of SR 826 was measured by the Florida Department of Transportation. The busiest section of the SR 826 is around the Miami International Airport and the nearby industrial estate in the west, with over 200,000 daily vehicle moves calculated between the Dolphin Expressway at Fontainebleau and the North Dakota Street/West 68th exit at Hialeah, peaking around SR 934 in Medley with more than 250,000 vehicle movements each day.
The volume of traffic decreases to the south of the Dolphin Expressway, especially in the southern Don Shula Expressway joins; however, unlike the other SR 826 (including the road surface), most of the peak traffic flow is not unidirectional. Indeed, at the southern end of the Palmetto Expressway, between US 1 and Kendall Drive, traffic moves almost exclusively toward the top.
To the north, traffic volume decreased after the exchange with the I-75 and Gratigny Parkway, with a reported decline of approximately 60,000 daily vehicle movements north of the intersection. Since the Palmetto Express Road turns the Big Curve and leads to the east, the volume of traffic continues to increase to a maximum of 164,000 vehicle movements each day just before the Golden Glades Interchange when collecting traffic from the north-south route in the Miami Gardens area.
At the east of the intersection, where the SR 826 becomes the surface road, traffic volume is more than half that of the SR 826 freeway, with a carrying amount of 64,500 daily vehicle movements. This number continues to decline eastward along SR 826, with only 46,000 daily vehicle movements recorded near its east terminal with SR A1A at Sunny Isles Beach.

History
Determination of State Road 826 was initially applied to a two-lane road (Golden Glades Drive, Northwest 167th Street) connecting US 27 to US 441 around the Golden Glades Interchange.
In 1956, the plan was inaugurated for several toll roads throughout Dade County. The proposed route is the North-South Expressway (now part of I-95), the East-West Expressway (now Dolphin Expressway), 36th Street Expressway (now Airport Expressway), Biscayne Bay Malecon (proposed downtown loop, never built) , The Dixie Expressway (proposed, most never built, some being I-95), and the Palmetto Toll Road. In 1957, Dade County Commissioner Ralph Fossey proposed an alternative alignment of the Palmetto Toll Road. The new alignment will start at Miller Road (Southwest 56th Street) and then turn southwest to follow the Seaboard Seaboard rail line for about 10 miles (16 km). The route would then turn south on Southwest 117th Avenue and follow it to US 1. While the alternative route plan had finally failed, the Don Shula Expressway, a northeast-southwest toll road, was built along the railroad in the 1970s.
In 1958, the State Road Department began to build toll road tolls under their authority. A north-south section along West 77th Avenue (Palmetto Road) is built to connect US 1 in Pinecrest to the enhanced Golden Glades Drive (complete with 90 degrees to the east) and west-west 167th Street on the bend will be abandoned. Many landowners are forced to sell their property to the county to pave the way for toll road construction. The Palmetto Bypass Toll Road opened in June 1961 at a cost of $ 30 million, four years after the opening of Florida's Turnpike and six months before the opening of the second Expressway of the Dade County Expressway (SR 112).
The Palmetto Express Road Settlement ("Bypass" faded from public use in the 1960s) and the development of Interstate 95 was a boost from the massive Golden Glades Interchange development involving Florida's Turnpike, US 441, Interstate 95, and SR 9.
When the Palmetto Toll Road first opened, it passed a forest and agricultural tract that has since been urbanized. Initially there were four in-class intersections at Hialeah and Miami Lakes that either turned into full stacking or were blocked in the 1970s. In addition, an increase in traffic load in Palmetto prompted plans to extend the Florida Turnpike to "bypass." In 1974, Homestead Extended from Florida's Turnpike opened for a four-mile (6.4 km) traffic west of Palmetto to reduce traffic demand in the original bypass Miami.
The Florida Department of Transportation recently completed the project on the 16.7-mile (26.9 km) section of the Palmetto Express Road from the southern end to the Northwest junction 154th Street, spreading the highway with two lanes (from eight lanes to ten and ten lanes to twelve) and increase the interchanges. The reconstruction of Miller Drive, Bird Road and Don Shula Expressway interchangees began in 2008, and is completed around 2012. The construction of the Dolphin-Palmetto Artificial Intersection begins on November 30, 2009, and is completed by the end of 2016.
The Florida Transportation Department is in the process of adding an express line on the Palmetto Toll Road between West Flagler Street and Northwest 154th Street, which will connect to a new express line on Interstate 75. This will generate four regular lines and two express lines, similar to 95 express.
