SR 176 runs from Interstate 240 (I-240) south to the Mississippi state line.

A wide median (with a fairly large drainage ditch) and grade-separated interchanges at major routes exist in the portion between Winchester Road and E. Raines Road.

hospital's address was on Shotwell Road, and large numbers of wounded American servicemen were being brought in by train.

Presently, there are a couple of residential blocks still named Shotwell located north of Park Avenue, in line with Getwell.

It's important to note that these residential blocks are not designated as part of State Highway 176.
