Florida State Road 848

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Locally known as Stirling Road, State Road 848 is a 6.8-mile-long east-west commuter highway in Dania Beach. Its western terminus is an intersection with University Drive (SR 817); its eastern terminus is an intersection with Federal Highway (US 1-SR 5) in downtown Dania Beach.

Between US 441-SR 7 and Florida's Turnpike (SR 91), Stirling Road passes through the Seminole Indian Reservation, which includes Seminole Okalee Indian Village and Museum, Seminole Casino Hollywood, and Ah-Tha-Thi-Ki Museum.

An interchange with SR 848 with Interstate 95 (SR 9) was the site of Six Flags Atlantis, a water park that was in existence in the 1980s and early 1990s. After the closing and demolition of the park, a large shopping center was built in its place.

West of US 441, Stirling Road extends another 7.5 miles, through Cooper City and Davie to a dead end 1.3 miles west of Interstate 75 (SR 93), although there are several other, disconnected, sections of Stirling Road between the dead end and US 27 (SR 25).
