Pierce, located along the Indian River across from the Fort Pierce Inlet, is one of Florida’s fourteen deepwater ports and a locally significant port for imports and exports. The Intracoastal Waterway follows the Indian River as it passes through the Treasure Coast. The Okeechobee Waterway connects Stuart with Ft. Myers on the west coast, passing through Lake Okeechobee approximately halfway along the route. Highways Despite its large population, the Treasure Coast has only two major north–south highways running through the area: Florida's Turnpike (a toll road) and Interstate 95. In the southern half of the Treasure Coast, both routes run generally parallel to each other (twice crossing each other), but are mostly located along the extreme western edges of the cities lining the coast. North of Ft. Pierce, the Turnpike leaves the Treasure Coast, heading northwest towards Orlando, leaving 95 as the only north-west highway in the northern half of the area. Much closer to the coast, U.S. 1 is the only main north–south roadway passing through the cities themselves. Along the western banks of the Indian River, and often on the barrier island for the region (Hutchinson Island and Orchid Island), is Florida State Road A1A. Beginning in Stuart, Florida State Road 76 runs west out of Stuart, passing Indiantown approximately halfway through before ending at an intersection with U.S. 98/441 in Port Mayaca. Shortly after leaving Stuart, the road parallels the St. Lucie Canal along its southern edge until both terminate along the eastern shore of Lake Okeechobee. Florida State Road 70
