Galloway Road (Miami)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Galloway Road, locally known as either Galloway Road and Northwest or Southwest 87th Avenue, is a north-south street that runs west of Miami in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

The southern terminus is a dead-end near Black Creek Marina, between Black Creek Canal and Biscayne National Park at Biscayne Bay just south of the town of Cutler Bay.

From this point it continues north as Southwest 87th Avenue. After crossing Southwest 232 Street it enters the town of Cutler Bay. It continues north through Cutler Bay until it crosses Southwest 184th and enters into the village of Palmetto Bay where it continues north till it ends at Southwest 164th Street near Canal C-100.[1]

It continues north from Southwest 163rd Terrace on the other side of Canal C-100 through Palmetto Bay until it dead-ends at Canal C-100-C near U.S. Route 1 (South Dixie Highway) a block north of Southwest 141st Street.[2]

It continues north from Southwest 134th Street in unincorporated Miami-Dade County and at this point it is also known as State Road 973.

Upon crossing West Flagler Street it becomes Northwest 87th Avenue.

It enters the city of Doral after crossing the Dolphin Expressway (State Road 836). At this point it is no longer State Road 973.
