Krome Avenue (Miami)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Krome Avenue, locally known as Krome Avenue and Southwest 177th Avenue and State Road 997 is a north-south street that runs west of Miami in Miami-Dade County, Florida. It is the westernmost major avenue in Miami-Dade County.

Its southern terminus is at US 1 just south of Florida City.

From this point it travels north through the cities of Florida City and Homestead as Southwest 177th Avenue until it crosses SW 8th Street (US 41/Tamiami Trail), after which it loses its grid number and direction, becoming just Krome Avenue or State Road 997 and has no other access to the street grid until it veers northeast and terminates at West Okeechobee Road (U.S. Route 27).
