It passes through the southern end of Nautilus , past shops and low-rise office buildings, crossing the Biscayne Waterway before passing along the southern edge of North Beach Elementary School. Continuing past more shops and a hotel, SR 112 crosses the Intracoastal Waterway before immediately meeting the southbound half of SR A1A . Past here,

84-486: A divided left-hand driving direction . About 0.5 miles (0.80 km) north of the southern terminus, SR 112 features an at-grade railroad crossing , near the eastern end of one of the airport's runways. The road swings to its main east-west orientation past the airport, with its lanes crossing to a normal driving direction just to the east of its partial interchange with SR 948 , which also provides limited access to U.S. Route 27 . After crossing NW 37th Avenue,

112-428: A hidden designation, and the turnpike is similarly SR 91. SR 9 is the hidden designation for I-95 north of the interchange but branches southward off I-95 to become a major commercial road on its own accord. South of the interchange, I-95 bears SR 9A as its hidden designation. The Golden Glades interchange initially opened as an intersection between US 441 and SR 826 in 1953, expanding into its current form in

140-727: Is constructing a connector between the Dolphin Expressway and the Airport Expressway as part of a massive project (the Miami Intermodal Center ) tying together expressways, rail lines, and the airport. It remains to be seen if the connector will have its own FDOT designation or if the SR ;112 will be extended over it to connect the Miami area's two primary east–west expressways. The entire route

196-705: Is locally known as the Airport Expressway (or the Airport Tollway), and is a controlled-access toll road between SR 9 and I-95. Between I-95 and Alton Road ( SR 907A ) in Miami Beach, SR 112 is signed only as Interstate 195 as it crosses Biscayne Bay by way of the Julia Tuttle Causeway . Between I-195 and its eastern terminus at Collins Avenue ( SR A1A ), the SR 112 signs are present but infrequent, and

224-538: The 1970s and early 1980s. On November 15, 2014, the Airport Expressway became an all electronic toll road, no longer collecting cash, and the only ways to pay are either by the SunPass transponders or billing by the toll-by-plate program, at double the cost. This also eliminated all "free movement" sections of the tolled section of SR 112, and restored tolls westbound, which had been removed in March 1984. This change

252-474: The Airport Expressway passes through its first of two toll gantries, charging $ 0.35 for vehicles with SunPass transponders and $ 0.70 for the remaining Toll-by-Plate users. It also runs roughly parallel to the Metrorail Orange Line, crossing under it just west of NW 32nd Avenue. SR 112 then interchanges with SR 9 (NW 27th Avenue), and then NW 22nd Avenue half a mile later. From here,

280-464: The Metrorail tracks cross over the Airport Expressway as they curve southwards. About 0.5 miles (0.80 km) later, the Airport Expressway ends at the stack interchange with I-95 (alternatively known as the 36th Street Interchange), with SR 112 and the pavement continuing eastwards as Interstate 195 . The 4.424-mile-long (7.120 km) section of SR 112 connecting Interstate 95 in

308-412: The airport. It wasn't until 1990 when SR 112 was extended southward and westward onto the airport property, terminating at the main entrance. The numbering of SR 112 is an anomaly in the current grid-based system. The road was assigned its number while it was in its planning stages; it retained the number as FDOT made widespread changes in the numbering of State Roads in southeastern Florida in

336-474: The eastbound Palmetto ramp to I-95 will be widened to three lanes – two to southbound I-95 and one on a new direct ramp to northbound I-95. Florida State Road 112 State Road 112 ( SR 112 ) is a 9.9-mile-long (15.9 km) east–west state highway connecting Miami International Airport in Miami to Miami Beach in the U.S. state of Florida . Between the airport and Interstate 95 , it

364-637: The expressway passes through the second toll gantry (at the location of the former toll plaza), charging the same rates as the first gantry. Near this gantry, SR 112 passes the southern side of the Earlington Heights Metrorail station , where the two lines of the Metrorail system merge, with both the Airport Expressway and the Metro continuing to run parallel eastwards for another 1 mile (1.61 km) or so. Just before SR 112's partial interchange with SR 933 (NW 12th Avenue),

392-544: The expressway was opened to traffic on December 23, 1961 (six months after the Palmetto Expressway, SR 826 ). Its initial name was the 36th Street Tollway , but use of the name eventually faded in favor of the more popular "Airport Expressway". Initially the toll road had its western terminus at the congested intersection with LeJeune Road ( SR 953 ), Northwest 36th Street ( SR  48 ), and Okeechobee Road ( US 27  / SR 25 ) just east of

420-476: The former. Two toll gantries are located along the expressway portion of the road, each charging $ 0.35 for SunPass users and $ 0.70 for Toll-by-Plate. As of November 15, 2014, it costs $ 0.70 to travel the entire expressway portion via SunPass (and $ 1.40 via Toll-by-Plate). All motorists are charged at least one toll for using the road; there are no "free sections" as existed prior to the electronic toll conversion in 2014. Construction of SR 112 began in 1959, and

448-499: The growing regional population, which has more than doubled since the interchange's opening. There were plans in the 1980s to reconstruct the interchange, but they were dropped due to high construction costs. The Golden Glades has been expanded and worked on several times over the years and is seen as a bottleneck in traffic on all the roads it incorporates. In 2017, the Florida Department of Transportation plans to widen

476-497: The main entrance of Miami International Airport , at the intersection of NW 21st Street and State Road 953 (Le Jeune Road), and heads north. From here until the interchange with I-95 , the road is known as the Airport Expressway and is maintained by the Greater Miami Expressway Agency (GMX). For its first mile or so, the road runs parallel to SR 953 and an airport runway, with its lanes featuring

504-630: The new Golden Glades Interchange. The section of I-95 from Golden Glades to SR 84 was completed in 1963; the Golden Glades Interchange and I-95 south to Northwest 95th Street opened on June 9, 1964. The interchange was also known as the Interama Interchange until it was renamed the Golden Glades Interchange in 1977. Flyovers to a commuter train station and bus terminal (in the 1970s) and elevated HOV lanes (in 1995) have been added to it to accommodate

532-537: The next decade. Its construction was prompted by a sequence of events spanning 12 years. In 1950, US 441 was extended from downtown Orlando to Miami to connect with a stretch of US 41 which sported US 94 road signs just a year earlier. In 1957, Florida's Turnpike (then called the Sunshine State Parkway) was completed in Dade (later Miami-Dade ) County, joining SR 826 (which, at

560-433: The road becomes one lane in each direction and meets the northbound half of SR A1A one block later, terminating amidst the high-rises of Mid-Beach . 41st Street continues on a short distance into a cul-de-sac . Tolls on the Airport Expressway are all electronic , meaning there are no cash transactions. Payment is done either via SunPass transponders or via toll-by-plate billing, the latter of which charges double of

588-553: The road is locally maintained as Arthur Godfrey Road . Since the state of Florida renumbered its Florida State Roads in 1945, a grid system of designation was imposed. While Miami is in a region of Florida in which all three-digit State Roads should begin with an "8" or a "9", its collection of State Roads has a few that begin with a "1" (usually used south of the Georgia state line and near Gainesville and Flagler Beach , both over 300 miles (480 km) away). SR 112 begins at

672-582: The time was Golden Glades Drive, an east–west street connecting US 1 along Biscayne Bay to US 27 inland). In 1958, construction of the north–south section of the Palmetto Bypass Expressway started, using SR 826 with a 90-degree eastward curve (the western section of SR 826 was to be abandoned). In 1959, construction of a segment of I-95, from Northwest 20th Street in Miami to SR 84 in Fort Lauderdale

700-525: The turnpike connector to I-95 to five lanes, including two lanes from the turnpike and three lanes from the eastbound Palmetto Expressway. Three lanes will exit to a relocated off-ramp to State Road 7 while the other three lanes will continue to I-95, which will get another lane between the Golden Glades and Northwest 151st Street. The entrance to the southbound express lanes south of the Golden Glades also will be moved 300 feet further south. In addition,

728-465: The west with Miami Beach in the east is also designated as I-195. This portion of the route is signed as I-195, with SR 112 becoming an unsigned highway . I-195 and SR 112 cross Biscayne Bay by way of the Julia Tuttle Causeway . At SR 907A (Alton Road), I-195 terminates while SR 112 continues east as Arthur Godfrey Road. East of Alton Road, SR 112 continues as the palm-lined Arthur Godfrey Road (also known as West 41st Street),

756-686: Was first announced in 2010, and along with the nearby Dolphin Expressway, SR 112 was the last of the MDX expressways to be converted to open road tolling . On December 23, 1961, three signed roads along the route of SR 112 were opened: the 36th Street Tollway, Interstate 195, and Spur Interstate 195 . I-195 Spur was the surface portion of the east–west state route along Arthur Godfrey Road in Miami Beach , connecting I-195's eastern terminus to SR A1A. The I-195 Spur signs disappeared from

784-550: Was started, along with I-195 and the Airport Expressway (SR 112) for access to Miami Beach and Miami International Airport . In 1961, construction of the Palmetto Bypass Expressway (the name was unofficially shortened in the mid-1960s), the Airport Expressway (then called the 36th Street Tollway), and the segment of I-95 south of Northwest 95th Street in Dade County were completed. Anticipating increasing traffic to and from Dade County, FDOT broke ground on May 18, 1962, for
