Due to the construction of the A 7 motorway the section between Flensburg and Schleswig was downgraded to a state road.

The B 76 bypasses Schleswig on the left side and has junctions with the B 201 at the north and the B 77 at the south where the main carriageway continues towards Rendsburg.

At Gettorf the route extends to a dual carriageway and crosses the Kiel Canal via the Levensau High Bridge.

After it bypasses Eutin the Route is interrupted by the A 1 motorway at Haffkrug.

At Scharbeutz the route continues again and goes through Timmendorfer Strand untin it finally ends in Travemünde with a junction with the B 75.
