SR 826's definition in 1945

State Road 826 didn't start as an expressway: that designation originally applied to a two-lane road (Golden Glades Drive, Northwest 167th Street) connecting US 1 to US 27 (SR 25) to the west. In 1953, the newly-formed Florida Turnpike Authority presented plans for a four-lane Palmetto Bypass going around the Miami area, but nothing was done until 1958, when the Florida Department of Transportation decided to build a Palmetto Bypass Expressway themselves. A north-south section along Northwest (and Southwest) 77th Avenue would be built to connect US 1 to an improved Golden Glades Drive (complete with 90 degree eastward turn) and the portion of Northwest 167th Street west of the curve would be abandoned. The Palmetto Bypass Expressway was opened in June 1961, four years after the opening of Florida's Turnpike and six months before the opening of Miami-Dade County's second expressway, the Airport Expressway (SR 112).

The completion of the Palmetto Expressway (the "Bypass" faded from public usage in the 1960's) and the building of Interstate 95 were the impetus of the construction of the massive Golden Glades Interchange involving Florida's Turnpike, US 441 (SR 7), Interstate 95, and SR 9. The Golden Glades Interchange, located in Miami Gardens, Florida, USA, is the confluence of five major roads serving eastern and southern Florida: Floridas Turnpike, Interstate 95 (with hidden Florida Department of Transportation designations SR 9 north of it and SR 9A south of it), U.S. Route 441 (also...

When the Palmetto Expressway was first opened, it went through tracts of woodland and farmland which have since been urbanized. Originally there were four at-grade intersections in Hialeah and Miami Lakes which were either transformed into full interchanges or blocked off in the 1970's. In addition, increasing traffic loads on SR 826 prompted plans for extending Florida's Turnpike to "bypass the bypass." In 1973, the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike (SR 821) was opened to traffic four miles to the west of the Miami area's original bypass in an attempt to reduce the traffic demands on SR 826.
