Florida State Road 9336

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Originally the Ingraham Highway, State Road 9336 is a two- to four-lane road connecting Florida's Turnpike and U.S. Route 1 (SR 5) with Everglades National Park near Florida City, Florida. The primary mode of entrance to the park, it is the only signed four digit state route in Florida.

Excluding the easternmost two blocks, SR 9336 was (with SR 997) part of the former SR 27, which connected Flamingo, Florida in the Everglades to US 27. The designation was changed in the early 1980s because of confusion between the Florida State route and the US highway route.

SR 906's definition in 1945

While SR 27 (and, later, SR 9336) used West Palm Drive (Southwest 344th Street) going westward toward an access to Everglades National Park, SR 906 went eastward on East Palm Drive to provide an access to the visitor center of Biscayne National Park. The two State Roads met at the corner of Palm Drive and Krome Avenue (the current eastern terminus of SR 9336) in Florida City, two blocks to the west of US 1. An overhead sign on US 1 displayed directions to both National Parks and both State Roads. The designation of SR 906 was established in 1945 and lasted until the mid-1980s, when it was merged with the east-west segment of the former SR 27 to form SR 9336, which was in turn shortened to its current configuration a decade later.

The former SR 906 still connects Biscayne National Park to US 1 and SR 9336 as it passes by Prime Outlets shopping mall, the Homestead Sports Complex, and the Homestead-Miami Speedway.
