Florida State Road 998


State Road 998 is an east–west road in Homestead, Florida, connecting the southern terminus of SR 997 with U.S. Route 1. The road, known locally as Campbell Drive, North 8th Street and Southwest 312th Street runs just over and serves as a truck bypass around downtown Homestead. It is the highest numbered three-digit state highway in Florida.

Route description

SR 998 starts at the intersection of Campbell Road and Krome Avenue and heads east, crossing the South Miami-Dade Busway, and ending at South Dixie Highway.

History

SR 998 was created in 2019 as part of a road swap between the Florida Department of Transportation and the county of Miami-Dade as part of FDOT's Krome Avenue widening project. Since the portion of former SR 997 on Krome Avenue passes through a portion of downtown Homestead that could not accommodate a road widening, the state relinquished the highway to the county in exchange for Campbell Road entering the state highway system.
