The road was formerly entirely designated as '''State Road 706''' ('''SR 706'''), but majority of it has been transferred to local jurisdiction and is signed as '''County Road 706''' ('''CR 706'''). ==Route description== ===West of Jupiter=== Indiantown Road begins at an intersection with the Bee-Line Highway ([SR 710](/source/SR_710_(FL))) in the middle of the wetlands in northwest Palm Beach County, approximately {{convert|10|mi|km}} east of [Indiantown](/source/Indiantown%2C_Florida) and roughly six miles from the site of the fake "ghost town" of [Apix](/source/Apix%2C_Florida). It proceeds east with the CR 706 designation as a two-lane road with a speed limit of {{convert|55|mph|kph}} with wetlands on either side. {{convert|4|mi|km}} east, Indiantown Road comes to an intersection with Pratt Whitney Road, which itself is [County Road 711](/source/County_Road_711_(Palm_Beach_County%2C_Florida)) and formerly [SR 711](/source/Florida_State_Road_711). As the road enters more civilization, it widens to become a divided boulevard with two lanes in each direction. It is not until an intersection with the [Florida's Turnpike](/source/Florida's_Turnpike) ramps that the road becomes three lanes in each direction and the speed limit decreases. ===Jupiter=== State Road 706 begins at the interchange between [Florida's Turnpike](/source/Florida's_Turnpike) and Indiantown Road in Jupiter, with SR 706 heading east, with the interchange with [Interstate 95](/source/Interstate_95_in_Florida) {{convert|1/4|mi|km|spell=in}} from the Turnpike. East of I-95, Indiantown Road becomes a commercial road from here to the eastern terminus. It has intersections with Central Boulevard and Center Street, major roads in the town of Jupiter, along with county road Alternate A1A. Continuing east, it has a junction with [Military Trail](/source/Florida_State_Road_809), followed by [SR 811](/source/Florida_State_Road_811) in central Jupiter. The road then crosses a major drawbridge over the [Intracoastal Waterway](/source/Intracoastal_Waterway), and then intersects with [US 1](/source/U.S._Route_1_in_Florida). Indiantown Road continues east under county maintenance (as CR 706) to [County Road A1A](/source/County_Road_A1A_(Palm_Beach_County%2C_Florida)), though this section of Indiantown Road is erroneously signed as "to SR A1A."{{Cite map | title = Map of State Road 706 | year = 2009 | publisher = [MapQuest](/source/MapQuest), Inc. | url = http://mapq.st/jgFFPC | accessdate = 2011-06-12 }}{{dead link|date=April 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} ==History== Originally, SR 706 spanned {{Convert|17|mi|km}} from Bee Line Highway ([SR 710](/source/State_Road_710_(Florida))) near [Indiantown](/source/Indiantown%2C_Florida) to its present eastern terminus. In the mid-1970s, [Florida Department of Transportation](/source/Florida_Department_of_Transportation) downgraded the section west of the Turnpike to secondary status (and placed "S" stickers on the SR 706 signs), starting a sequence of events that started the reversion of the western segment to county control. This was part of a large set of transformations that [particularly affected Florida south of State Road 70](/source/Former_State_Roads_in_southern_Florida). In the early 1970s Indiantown Road was only two lanes and had two lights. The road at that time ended just west of Jupiter High school.{{Cite web |last=Wekenmann |first=King |date=2012-12-17 |title=Early 1970s - A Candid Story About Early Jupiter |url=https://www.jupiter.fl.us/DocumentCenter/View/2033/Early-1970s---A-Candid-Story-About-Early-Jupiter}} Upon completion of the Interstate 95 corridor, an entrance and exit ramp was constructed connecting the two routes. While SR 706 was primarily a rural road as recently as the 1980s, the region has become [urbanized](/source/urbanization) in recent years as the population growth of Florida [Gold Coast](/source/Gold_Coast_(Florida)) and nearby [Treasure Coast](/source/Treasure_Coast) has been transforming the [Atlantic](/source/Atlantic_Ocean) coast of Florida south of [Kennedy Space Center](/source/Kennedy_Space_Center). ==Major intersections== {{jcttop|state=FL|county=Palm Beach|length_ref={{FDOT cite |id=104156 |date=March 12, 2015 |accessdate=January 6, 2020}}{{google maps |url=https://www.google.com/maps/dir/26.9432341,-80.3518825/26.9348299,-80.1580278/@26.9395768,-80.2899748,13z/am=t/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!4m1!3e0 |title=County Road 706 |access-date=January 1, 2018}}{{google maps |url=https://www.google.com/maps/dir/26.9338635,-80.0808319/26.9339162,-80.0724215/@26.9340016,-80.0788078,17z/am=t/data=!3m1!4b1 |title=County Road 706 |access-date=January 1, 2018}}}} {{FLint |location=none |mile=0.00 |road={{jct|state=FL|SR|710}} |notes=Western terminus of CR 706 }} {{FLint |location=none |mile=4.00 |road={{jct|state=FL|CR|711|county1=Palm Beach|name1=Pratt Whitney Road}} |notes=Former SR 711 }} {{FLint |location=Jupiter |lspan=7 |mile=12.10 |mile2=0.000 |line=yes |type=trans |road={{jct|state=FL|FLTP|}} |notes=Route transition from CR 706 to SR 706; exit 116 on Turnpike }} {{FLint |mile=0.490 |road={{jct|state=FL|I|95|city1=Daytona Beach|city2=West Palm Beach}} |notes=Exit 87 on I-95}} {{FLint |mile=3.472 |road={{jct|state=FL|CR|809|county1=Palm Beach|dir1=south|name1=[Military Trail](/source/Military_Trail_(Florida))}} |notes=Northern terminus of CR 809; former [SR 809](/source/SR_809_(FL)) }} {{FLint |mile=3.983 |road={{jct|state=FL|SR|811|name1=[Alternate A1A](/source/Alternate_A1A_(Palm_Beach))}} |notes=Former routing of [Dixie Highway](/source/Dixie_Highway) and [SR A1A](/source/SR_A1A_(FL)) }} {{jctbridge |mile=4.440 |mile2=4.694 |bridge=Indiantown Road Bridge over [Lake Worth Creek](/source/Intracoastal_Waterway)}} {{FLint |mile=4.778 |mile2=0.00 |line=yes |type=trans |road={{Jct|state=FL|US|1}} |notes=Route transitions from SR 706 to CR 706 }} {{FLint |mile=0.50 |road={{jct|state=FL|CR|A1A|county1=Palm Beach}} |notes=Former routing of [SR A1A](/source/SR_A1A_(FL))) }} {{jctbtm|keys=trans}} ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== {{Attached KML}} 706 706 706 --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Indiantown Road](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiantown_Road) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiantown_Road?action=history)).
