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 in Florida|U.S. Route 1]. The road, known locally as a portion of 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 Drive 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 Drive entering the state highway system.
