Opened and signed in 1993, State Road 856 is also a limited access highway with one exit featuring Texas U-turns near its midpoint. The exit (onto West Country Club Drive) provides access to and from Aventura Mall, one of Florida’s largest enclosed shopping centers. Next to the Intracoastal Waterway, high-rise condominiums are on the land near SR 856 in both Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach.
