In February, 2008, the Englewood Florida community received their state scenic highway designation.  The SR776 corridor includes areas in both Sarasota and Charlotte Counties on Florida's gulf coast. Additional "loops" of roadway were included to help point out to visitors, as well as the local community, of the many historical and natural resources our community has. 


In general, SR 776 is a four-lane typical section with 12-foot lanes, 4- or 5-foot sidewalks
and 4-foot bicycle lanes. The typical section varies slightly throughout the corridor from the beginning in Charlotte County to the terminus in Sarasota County.


Q.  What are Loop Roads that are part of the Englewood designation? 

 Answer:  Loop roads depart from the main corridor and either form a loop or re-connect with the corridor at a separate junction. Loop roads can enhance a corridor by providing access to additional resources.  In the Englewood area, there are 2 loop roads: Englewood Road leading to Dearborn Street and includes trhe Olde Englewood Village area. The second being CR 775 (AKA Placida Road) / CR771 (AKA Gasparilla Road).
