Route description

State Road 969 begins at Flagler Street (SR 968) and heads north through residential areas, quickly intersecting the Dolphin Expressway. North of the Dolphin Expressway, SR 969 borders the Miami International Airport to its east, and airport related business to the west as the road curves around the western end of the airport to accommodate an extended runway. North of the runway, SR 969 resumes in it's cardinal north direction and passes by and through business parks and industrial parks for the remainder of the road. The road intersects State Road 948 near Virginia Gardens, with SR 969 continuing north. Just south of the southern terminus, SR 969 passes through a rail yard operated and maintained by Miami-Dade Transit. The road finally terminates at State Road 934, at the western end of the Hialeah Expressway.[1][2]

Expect for the curved section of SR 969 at the airport, the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) parallels SR 969 0.5-mile (0.80 km) to the west.

History

Milam Dairy Road received its current SR 969 designation in 1983, when FDOT reassigned numbers to a collection of southeastern Florida streets. Prior to the reassignment, Milam Dairy Road/West 72nd Avenue was signed State Road 919.

In the 1980s, a curve around the airport was extended southward with a bridge over the Dolphin Expressway, removing the portion of North 12th Street from the route. Originally, northbound traffic went north on West 72nd Avenue, and then west on North 12th Street, and then north again on the curved West 72nd Avenue around the airport.

Until 2001, signage indicated that SR 969 actually extended two blocks south into the Flagami section of Miami, to Tamiami Boulevard (only southbound traffic saw the SR 969 reassurance sign just south of Flagler Street).

Major junctions

The entire route is located in Miami-Dade County.
