State Road 808 (SR 808), locally known as Glades Road is a 7.615 miles (12.255 km) long east–west divided highway serving southern Palm Beach County, Florida. Its present western terminus is an intersection with US 441 / SR 7) in Mission Bay; its eastern terminus is an intersection with Federal Highway (U.S. Route 1 and unsigned SR 5) in Boca Raton. State Road 808 is a major commuter route connecting the four major north–south arteries of Palm Beach County: US 441 / SR 7, Florida's Turnpike (SR 91), Interstate 95 (SR 9), and US 1 (SR 5).
Route description
State Road 808 begins at the intersection of US 441 in Mission Bay, meeting with several shopping centers. SR 808 heads east on Glades Road, serving as a commercial thoroughfare through Mission Bay and Boca West, and providing access to several gated communities. Two miles east of the western terminus, the road enters Boca Raton and has an interchange with Florida's Turnpike east of the actual road. East of the Turnpike, Glades Road acts as a access road for several gated communities, intersecting with the northern terminus of SR 845 (Powerline Road), where it continues north as Jog Road. At St. Andrews Boulevard, Glades Road becomes commercial again, providing the northern boundary of the Boca Town Center. East of the mall, SR 808 intersects with Butts Road, providing access to Military Trail, and east of there, Glades Road provides access to many business parks until its interchange with I-95. East of the interchange, it continues as a commercial road, and provides access to Boca Raton Airport's terminal via Airport Road, and the main campus of Florida Atlantic University. East of FAU, SR 808 is a mix of commercial and residential areas for the rest of the road, heading towards the railroad tracks and the eastern terminus at US 1.[2]
Planned extension into Broward County
West of US 441, Glades Road continues and turns southward, becoming University Drive (without a State designation), terminating at Palmetto Park Road. According to maps published by Fort Lauderdale-based Dolph Map Company, an extension of the small segment of University Drive has been proposed to connect to the present-day University Drive (State Road 817) in Broward County. No indication is given of whether the extension would be a state or county road or what number designation it would have if any.
History
State Road 808 was established in 1945 in its current route. Prior to the 1945 renumbering, the road was known as State Road 395.
Major intersections
The entire route is in Palm Beach County.
