Florida State Road 997
State Road 997 (SR 997), also known as Krome Avenue and West 177th Avenue is a north–south state highway in western Miami-Dade County, Florida. It runs from U.S. Route 1 just south of Florida City north across U.S. Route 41 to U.S. Route 27 near Countyline Dragway (formerly Opa-locka West Airport), just south of the Broward County line. Its main use is as a bypass around the western side of Miami, linking the routes that run southwest, west and northwest from that city. The road passes through newer suburbs in the southern third of its length, while the northern two thirds of the highway traverse the eastern edge of the Everglades.
==Route description==
State Road 997 begins at the south end of Florida City, at an unsignalised junction with US 1, as an undivided two-laned road, which it remains as for most of its subsequent journey. Heading northwest from US 1, it immediately turns north and runs parallel to US 1 for the next , one block to the west. Passing a mixture of light industry, motels and other commercial uses, SR 997 crosses SR 9336 at Palm Drive approximately north from SR 997's southern terminus. As the road approaches Homestead, it becomes more commercial into character, crossing into the city at Southwest 8th Street. After crossing the South Miami-Dade Busway, the road becomes a narrow shopping street for the next five blocks, lined with palms and flowering trees as it passes through the commercial heart of Homestead. North of Northwest 4th Street, the road opens up again and remains as a predominantly commercial palm-lined road for the rest of its journey through Homestead. Just over a mile (1.6 km) later, SR 997 leaves Homestead and enters unincorporated Miami-Dade county,〔 immediately entering farmland north of Southwest 296th Street, and becoming increasingly rural the further north it journeys.
SR 997 passes through the rural community of Redland, crossing CSX tracks north of Southwest 232nd Street. after leaving Homestead, SR 997 forms the western terminus of SR 994 northwest of the remains of Aladdin City. After a few more miles and crossing the Black Creek Canal, SR 997 chicanes to the right, crossing over the Conrad Yelvington branch railroad where it forms the western boundary of the suburban The Hammocks up to its junction with SR 94, the latter's western terminus. Past here, the road enters woodland and is relatively uninterrupted for the next , save for the Conrad Yelvington facility, reaching the Tamiami Trail (US 41) at its northern end. After passing the Miccosukee Indian casino and resort, SR 997 has an uninterrupted run north along the boundary of the Everglades, turning northeast after . After crossing the Miami Canal later, SR 997 terminates after at US 27.
