State Road 976, locally known as Bird Road, is a commercially important route extending eastward from the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike (SR 821) in Westwood Lakes, Florida to U.S. Route 1 (SR 5) in Miami, running south of downtown Miami in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Its length is a subject for debate as there is no definitive indication as to the exact location of its western terminus and there is no SR 976 signage east of West 37th Avenue (Douglas Road) in Miami. According to the Florida Department of Transportation, the length is approximately eight miles.

“Future contingents cannot be certain to us, because we know them as such. They can be certain only to God whose understanding is in eternity above time. Just as a man going along a road does not see those who come after him; but the man who sees the whole road from a height sees all those who are going along the road at the same time.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
