Florida State Road 94

State Road 94, locally known as Kendall Drive or South 88th Street, serves as a primary east–west route in Miami-Dade County, and the primary commuter route in Kendall. Its current endpoints are Krome Avenue (SR 997) and South Dixie Highway (US 1).

Route description

The road begins at SR 997 in western Miami-Dade County, heading east. The Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike provides an interchange near the western end of the road just west of 117th Avenue, followed by an interchange with the Palmetto Expressway just west of the Dadeland Mall before ending at US 1.^[2][3]

SR 94 is not to be confused with the defunct US 94 -- itself SR 90 -- which was absorbed by US 41 in 1949. SR 94 should also not be confused with Loop Road, a roadway formerly known as SR 94, which connects to US 41 in two different locations forming a loop in Big Cypress National Preserve. Loop Road, is currently managed by the National Park Service and no longer has any numbered designation.

History

Until a series of truncations throughout the system of State Roads by the Florida Department of Transportation, SR 94 extended eastward to SR 959 at the intersection of Kendall Drive and Red Road (South 88th Street and West 57th Avenue) in Pinecrest; both State Roads were cut back to US 1 by 2001.

Major junctions

The entire route is located in Kendall, Miami-Dade County.
