Florida State Road 742

State Road 742 is a east-west state highway serving Pensacola, Florida. It is both a commuter road and a bypass route that also provides access for motorists to Pensacola International Airport. Locally known as Burgess Road and Creighton Road, SR 742 stays within a mile south of Interstate 10 from the state road's western terminus at U.S. [Route 29 (Florida)|U.S. Route 29] near Ensley to SR 742's eastern terminus at U.S. [Route 90 (Florida)|US 90] in Pensacola.
SR 742 east of SR 289 was itself part of SR 289 until the mid-1970s.
Since the state of Florida renumbered its Florida State Roads in 1945, a grid system of designation was imposed. While Pensacola is in a region of Florida in which all three-digit State Roads should begin with a "1" or "2", its collection of State Roads has a few that begin with a "7".
