State Road 825, locally known as Southwest 137th Avenue and Lindgren Road, is a 2.5 mi (4.02 km) north–south road connecting State Road 94, locally known as Kendall Drive, in the north to Southwest 128th Street in the south at the entrance of the Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport. The Florida Department of Transportation added the route in the early 1980s in a campaign to increase access to the county's commercial airports.
State Road 825 passes through a part of Miami-Dade County in which farmland is rapidly giving way to residential developments and business parks, an urbanization process that has been accelerating since the 1990s.
The road is also anomalous in a couple of ways. It is misnumbered: in Band 9, it lies further west than SR 985 (Southwest 107th Avenue north of SR 94) and SR 989 (Southwest 112th Avenue south of U.S. Route 1) and east of 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.
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 current configuration) – and there is no connection between SR 825 and any designated County Roads.
With the continuing population growth of western Miami-Dade County and the current construction of the western extension of the 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 commuter highway is expected to continue to increase in the coming years.
