State Road 998 (SR 998) is an east–west road in Homestead, Florida, connecting the southern terminus of SR 997 with U.S. Route 1 (US 1). The road, known locally as a portion of Campbell Drive, North 8th Street and Southwest 312th Street, runs just over 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) and serves as a truck bypass around downtown Homestead. It is the highest numbered three-digit state highway in Florida.

Route description

Signage for SR 998 near US 1

SR 998 starts at the intersection of Campbell Drive and Krome Avenue (SR 997 north/CR 997 south) and heads east, crossing the South Miami-Dade Busway, and ending at South Dixie Highway (US 1).

History

SR 998 was created in 2019 as part of a road swap between the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the county of Miami-Dade as part of FDOT's Krome Avenue widening project.[2][3] 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 Drive entering the state highway system.[4][5]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Homestead, Miami-Dade County. [6][7]
