A reversible lane setup is in place between SR 817 and US 441 to serve Sun Life Stadium traffic.

The 1.0-mile-long stretch along Sun Life Stadium notwithstanding, CR 854 snakes through suburban residential developments with the occasional shopping center along the way.

To the west, the road extends an additional 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to its end in a residential division next to the Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike.

From the late 1950s until 1980, the southern terminus of SR 823 was an intersection of Ludlam Road/Flamingo Road (West 67th Avenue) and North 202nd Street.

In a statewide reallocation of numbers in 1983, the SR 852 signs were moved one mile (1.6 km) northward to County Line Road, and the former SR 852 was relabeled State Road 854, a designation that the route had for two decades.
