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 Campbell Drive, North 8th Street and Southwest 312th Street runs just over NaNmiles and serves as a truck bypass around downtown Homestead. It is the highest numbered three-digit state highway in Florida.
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).
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 Road entering the state highway system.[4] [5]
