State Road 874, also known as the Don Shula Expressway, extends 6.4 miles, connecting SR 826 (Palmetto Expressway) and the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike (SR 821) in central Miami-Dade County, Florida. Despite its even number designation, the divided limited access toll road runs northeast-southwest and is signed north-south. State Road 874 is maintained and operated by the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority. As of September 2005, it has a $1.25 toll.

Originally called the South Dade Expressway, the Don Shula Expressway received its current name in 1983 to honor the Hall Of Fame head coach of the Miami Dolphins NFL team (1970-1995).
