State Road 825 (SR 825), locally known as Northwest 137th Avenue, Southwest 137th Avenue and Lindgren Road, is a north-south non-continuous route in Miami-Dade County consisting of two parts. The southern segment is 2.54 mi (4.09 km), extending from the entrance of the Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport north to State Road 94. The northern segment is 1.47 mi (2.37 km), and runs from US 41 (SR 90) to Northwest 12th Street, under the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) overpass. The northern segment is unsigned.
Route description
State Road 825 begins at the intersection of Southwest 137th Avenue and Southwest 128th Street, near the entrance of the Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport. SR 825 heads north, with the airport to the west and commercial business to the east of the road. At Southwest 120th Street, SR 825 exits the airport property, and drives through residential housing for most of the rest of the route. Prior to the 1990s, most of this route was surrounded by farmland. It then intersects Southwest 104th Street, the former State Road 990, continuing north through residential housing. At Southwest 90th Street, commercial businesses take over the landscape of SR 825 for the last two blocks until it terminates at the intersection of State Road 94, the only state road that SR 825 intersects.[2][3]
It is misnumbered: in Band 9, it lies further west than SR 985 (Southwest 107th Avenue north of SR 94) and SR 989 (Southwest 112th Avenue south of U.S. Route 1) and east of SR 997 (Krome Avenue). Its location would normally merit a designation of State Road 993 in the current grid method of numbering Florida State Roads instead.
History
The Florida Department of Transportation added the route in the early 1980s in a campaign to increase access to the county's commercial airports. In 2009, the northern segment was adopted and widened to cater to motorists coming off the newly built western extension of the Dolphin Expressway.
Future
With the continuing population growth of western Miami-Dade County, the importance of SR 825 as a commercial and commuter highway is expected to continue to increase in the coming years.
Major intersections
The entire route is in Miami-Dade County.
