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.

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or road:
“As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,
I man the rudder, reef the sail,
Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
“Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The road to the Other World all ages can travel.”
—Chinese proverb.
