Florida State Road 880

State Road 880 (SR 880) is a 0.475 mi long state highway in Belle Glade, Florida, running from SR 80 and SR 15 east to State Road 717. From here, it continues east for almost 19 mi to Twenty Mile Bend as County Road 880 (CR 880).

Route description
SR 880 begins in Belle Glade, Florida at an intersection with SR 80 and SR 15. From here, it heads east on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard for about half a mile, where it intersects with SR 717. SR 717 terminates at this intersection and SR 880 becomes CR 880. CR 880 heads out of Belle Glade heading east-southeast.

Along the route, there are bends in the road named Six Mile Bend, Nine Mile Bend, and Twenty Mile Bend which are each named for their distance from Belle Glade. CR 880 intersects with CR 827 at Six Mile Bend. At Twenty Mile Bend, CR 880 terminates at Southern Boulevard (which carries SR 80, US 98, and US 441).

C-51 Canal Bridge
Just south of its intersection with SR 80/US 98/US 441 in Twenty Mile Bend, CR 880 crosses the C-51 canal on a historic truss bridge. This bridge was built in 1937 and is a Warren through-truss swing bridge. However, the bridge is now a fixed-bridge and can no longer swing open. It is the second-oldest bridge in Palm Beach County after the nearby Torry Island Swing Bridge in Belle Glade.

History
The entire route of SR 880 and CR 880 is a former alignment of SR 80 and US 441. The route from Belle Glade to Palm Beach was complete in 1923 as part of SR 80 (which was designated SR 25 prior to the 1945 Florida State Road renumbering).

The current four-lane alignment of SR 80 and US 441 to the north (designated as the Kenneth C. Mock Memorial Highway) was built in 1989. After SR 80 and US 441 were rerouted, the original route was redesignated as SR 880. SR 880 east of SR 717 was then redesignated as CR 880 when it was transferred to county control on August 2, 1994.
