Like Military Trail (SR 809) to the east, SR 845 is a major commuter highway paralleling Florida's Turnpike (SR 91) and Interstate 95 (I-95) and often used as an alternative for the often-congested expressways. The road received its name from the parallel high tension power lines for almost its entire length.
