Route description

Starting at the Florida line south of Quitman in Brooks County,[2] SR 76 heads north concurrent with U.S. Route 221 (US 221). Just south of Quitman, both roads merge with SR 333. In downtown Quitman, US 221 heads east, and SR 76/SR 333 stays concurrent. Just north of downtown, SR 76 splits off from SR 333. It then passes through the towns of Morven and Barney before entering Cook County.[3]

SR 76 enters Cook County southwest of Adel. In town, it crosses, but does not junction with, Interstate 75 (I-75). In downtown, SR 76 runs concurrent with SR 37. They split east of Adel, and SR 76 heads northeast into Berrien County.[4]

SR 76 enters Berrien County southwest of Nashville. Reaching downtown Nashville, it runs concurrently with US 129, SR 11, and SR 125 for a short distance. After splitting off, SR 76 heads east, jogs north, and then heads east until it terminates at SR 135.[5][6]

The only portion of SR 76 that is part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense, is the concurrency with US 84/SR 38 (on US 221/SR 333) in Quitman.[7]
