'''Lindgren Road''' is a north–south boulevard in [[Miami-Dade County, Florida|Miami-Dade County]], [[Florida]]. It is also known as '''Northwest 137th Avenue''' and '''Southwest 137th Avenue''', as laid out in the Miami-Dade street grid.

==Route description==
State Road 825 passes through a part of Miami-Dade County in which [[Farmland (farming)|farmland]] is rapidly giving way to residential developments and [[business park]]s, an [[urbanization]] process that has been accelerating since the 1990s.
State Road 825 begins at the intersection of Southwest 137th Avenue and Southwest 128th Street, near the entrance of the [[Miami Executive Airport]]. SR&nbsp;825 heads north, with the airport in unincorporated Miami-Dade County to the west and commercial business in the [[census-designated place|CDP]] of [[Three Lakes, Florida|Three Lakes]] to the east of the road. At Southwest 120th Street, SR&nbsp;825 exits the airport property, and drives through residential housing for most of the rest of this section. Prior to the 1990s, most of this route was surrounded by [[Farmland (farming)|farmland]]. It then intersects Southwest 104th Street, the former [[Florida State Road 990|State Road 990]], continuing north through residential housing. At Southwest 90th Street, commercial businesses take over the landscape of SR&nbsp;825 for the last two blocks until it terminates at the intersection of [[Florida State Road 94|State Road 94]], the only state road that this section of SR&nbsp;825 intersects.<ref name="lindgren map">{{Cite map | title = Map of State Road 825| year = 2009 |publisher=MapQuest, Inc. | url =http://mapq.st/mCVUCR| accessdate =2011-06-14 }}</ref><ref name="dade map">{{cite map |publisher=[[Florida Department of Transportation]] |title=General Highway Map Miami-Dade County, Florida |url=http://www.dot.state.fl.us/surveyingandmapping/geomap/mida_c.pdf |edition= |year=April 2007 |cartography= |scale= |series= |accessdate=2010-06-25}}</ref>


The road is also anomalous in a couple of ways. It is misnumbered: in Band 9, it lies further west than [[State Road 985 (Florida)|SR 985]] (Southwest 107th Avenue north of SR 94) and [[State Road 989 (Florida)|SR 989]] (Southwest 112th Avenue south of [[U.S. Route 1 (Florida)|U.S. Route 1]]) and east of [[State Road 997 (Florida)|SR 997]] (Krome Avenue). Its location would normally merit a designation of '''State Road 993''' in the current grid method of numbering [[Florida State Roads]] instead.
Based on the current grid method of numbering [[Florida State Roads]], SR&nbsp;825 is incorrectly numbered. In Band 9, of the state, SR&nbsp;825 lies further west than [[State Road 985 (Florida)|SR&nbsp;985]] (Southwest 107th Avenue north of SR&nbsp;94) and [[State Road 989 (Florida)|SR&nbsp;989]] (Southwest 112th Avenue south of [[U.S. Route 1 (Florida)|US&nbsp;1]]), and lies east of [[State Road 997 (Florida)|SR&nbsp;997]] (Krome Avenue). Based on the roads location and nearby route numbers, Lindgren Road would normally merit a designation of State Road 993.


In 2022, two new sections were opened the northern section between [[State Road 994 (Florida)|SR&nbsp;994]] (SW 200 ST, Quail Roost Drive) and SW 240 ST, and the southern section between SW 248 ST and [[U.S. Route 1 in Florida|U.S. Route&nbsp;1]] (South Dixie Hwy) to directly connect all sections of the road from SW 344 ST to NW 25 ST
Despite that it lies entirely on the mainland of Florida (and not surrounded by water), SR 825 connects to only one other State Road (SR 94) – this was not the case upon original designation (when it connected with SR 990 before the east-west route was drastically shortened to its [[State Road 990 (Florida)|current configuration]]) – and there is no connection between SR 825 and any designated County Roads.


==History==
With the continuing population growth of western Miami-Dade County and the current construction of the western extension of the [[State Road 836 (Florida)|Dolphin Expressway]] (first to Northwest 137th Avenue five miles (8 km) to the north, then to Southwest 136th Street near Southwest 147th Avenue), the importance of SR 825 as a commercial and [[commuting|commuter highway]] is expected to continue to increase in the coming years.
{{Expand section|date=February 2016}}
The [[Florida Department of Transportation]] added the route in the early 1980s in a campaign to increase access to the county's commercial airports. In 2009, the northern segment was adopted and widened to cater to motorists coming off the newly built western extension of the Dolphin Expressway.<ref>http://www.miamidade.gov/govaction/legistarfiles/Matters/Y2008/083309.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref>

Lindgren Road is a north–south boulevard in Miami-Dade County, Florida. It is also known as Northwest 137th Avenue and Southwest 137th Avenue, as laid out in the Miami-Dade street grid. The road also carries two segments of the State Road 825 (SR 825) designation. The southern 2.54-mile (4.09 km) segment extends from the entrance of Miami Executive Airport north to State Road 94,[1] while the northern segment is 1.47-mile-long (2.37 km) and travels from U.S. Route 41 (US 41) to NW 12th Street, just past the western terminus of the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836).[2] 10.3 miles (16.58 km) of Lindgren Road connects the two state-maintained segments. An additional 16-mile (25.7 km) segment extends southward from Miami Executive Airport to Homestead.[3]

Route description[edit]

State Road 825 begins at the intersection of Southwest 137th Avenue and Southwest 128th Street, near the entrance of the Miami Executive Airport. SR 825 heads north, with the airport in unincorporated Miami-Dade County to the west and commercial business in the CDP of Three Lakes to the east of the road. At Southwest 120th Street, SR 825 exits the airport property, and drives through residential housing for most of the rest of this section. Prior to the 1990s, most of this route was surrounded by farmland. It then intersects Southwest 104th Street, the former State Road 990, continuing north through residential housing. At Southwest 90th Street, commercial businesses take over the landscape of SR 825 for the last two blocks until it terminates at the intersection of State Road 94, the only state road that this section of SR 825 intersects.[4][5]

Based on the current grid method of numbering Florida State Roads, SR 825 is incorrectly numbered. In Band 9, of the state, SR 825 lies further west than SR 985 (Southwest 107th Avenue north of SR 94) and SR 989 (Southwest 112th Avenue south of US 1), and lies east of SR 997 (Krome Avenue). Based on the roads location and nearby route numbers, Lindgren Road would normally merit a designation of State Road 993.

In 2022, two new sections were opened the northern section between SR 994 (SW 200 ST, Quail Roost Drive) and SW 240 ST, and the southern section between SW 248 ST and U.S. Route 1 (South Dixie Hwy) to directly connect all sections of the road from SW 344 ST to NW 25 ST

History[edit]

The Florida Department of Transportation added the route in the early 1980s in a campaign to increase access to the county's commercial airports. In 2009, the northern segment was adopted and widened to cater to motorists coming off the newly built western extension of the Dolphin Expressway.[6]

Major intersections[edit]

The entire route is in Miami-Dade County.
